RARE 24 " Vintage Murano Glass Chrome Flower Flush Mount Sputnik Chandelier XL
Item History & Price
Gorgeous large vintage Murano chandelier in the sputnik style, with 15 sculptural clear glass flowers sprouting from a central hub, plus six bright lights spiking outward as well, all reflected by a shiny mirror like chrome disk backplate. The fixture is a whopping 24" across but has a max depth of 12" from the ceiling, making it a versatile fixture for low clearance installations, but large enough to certainly hold its own as a centerpiece of your glam luxe living room or bedroom. It'...s a stunner. I do not know its exact age. It's originally from an older home on the north side of Chicago, and that's all the previous owner knew. When I installed it a ways back, I did recall that the wiring is either updated or perhaps it's not a super old fixture, as this wiring appeared to be good and fresh. I am not an expert but I would guess perhaps this is from the late 70's or 80's. It is in great shape with no cracks or chips in the glass flowers (blown tubular glass). I think one of the flowers has a replacement base, not noticeable once installed but I am trying to be thorough - it's the metal piece the glass is cemented into which is just a little fatter than the others and less shiny silver. You don't find it unless you're really looking. This is a rare designer chandelier, unusual and striking, perfect for any home or office interior appreciative of fine arts and collectible older pieces. It is not new, so it does exhibit a little patina, easy to shine up since it's chrome. It's still up on the ceiling and will remain in place until it sells, so I cannot look for labels or see anything the is not observable as is. But I will do my best to figure anything out if you have questions. As you can see from the photos, it's very clean and handsome and ready to go. There is one brass piece on it, a large round decorative nut at the center bottom, otherwise it's mostly chrome. I can carefully ship this exquisite lighting to the continental USA for $40. Sold as is as shown and described. Thanks.
