Availability: 11 in stock
  • Decade: 1960s
  • Condition: This is a vintage (somewhere 1960s -- 1980s) crystal glass prism on metal frame chandelier in wonderful display condition. It's meant to be hardwired into the ceiling box, so I did not test it yet the wiring and sockets look fine ... it'll work. The metal fixture is vintage with dust and mild pitting mainly on the underside pieces which are not viewable when installed. There is some mild pitting to the display areas but you'd never know unless you had all the prisms off and were inspecting the metal. Of the 88 prisms, I note 8 of the larger ones have noticeable chips at the angled end (close-up picture of those 8 included). All other crystals are pristine with perhaps a minor fleabite here and there is searching for flaws. THIS PIECE DISPLAYS WONDERFULLY ... I WISH I COULD SEE IT LIT.

    Description

    Stunning vintage (somewhere 1960s through 1980s) Italian Venini Crystal 88 Prism Tiered Chandelier.
    About a 20" diameter circle with an 18" height ... includes original heavy duty chain so you may hang at any drop length you desire. That chain is dirty, dusty and a little pitted from the years. This fixture is heavy ... must be near 50 LBS with those 88 crystals hanging from it.
    It has it's original wiring which looks fine, as do the sockets but I didn't test it as it's meant to be hard wired into the ceiling box. There are 7 sockets in total, 6 candle base and one regular base bulb socket.
    There are 88 total solid crystals each featuring a polished angled slightly beveled edge. Very impressive when hung ... wish I could see it lit.
    54 crystals are 9.75" in length, with 8 of those 54 having chips to the angled edge (close up picture attached of those 8).
    22 crystals are 7.75" in length, with no flaws beyond perhaps a minor fleabite here and there.
    12 crystals are 6" in length, with no flaws beyond perhaps a minor fleabite here and there.
    The metal fixture is vintage with dust and some pitting mainly on the backside (ceiling facing) pieces which are not viewable when installed. There is some mild pitting to the display areas but you'd never know unless you had all the prisms off and were inspecting the metal.
