antique lighting: chandeliers
A chandelier is a decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture. Chandeliers are often ornate, and normally use lamps. From the 15th century, complex forms of chandeliers, based on ring or crown designs, became popular decorative features in palaces and homes of nobility, clergy and merchants. Their high cost made the chandelier a symbol of luxury and status.

Space Age chromed metal chandelier by Gaetano Sciolari, mid-20th century
sia antion, riga, latvia
Another iconic piece designed by Gaetano Sciolari in the middle of the last century: this Space Age chrome-plated metal luminaire will fit in perfectly with any midcentury-inspired interior. Medium-sized but with a strong presence, it will easily find its place in an entrance hall, in a small apartment and with its singular design will give an arty vintage atmosphere!A work of fine quality, in very good condition and very fashionable: the height is easily adjusted thanks to its original chain, and the canopy is also original. The piece has been re-electrified as new.Throughout his career, Sciolari (1927-1994) designed magnificent and incredible lighting fixtures such as the “Mod A5011” suspension lamp (circa 1950), the “4079” floor lamp (1965) and, of course, the Cubic chandelier (1970s).After completing his studies at the Faculty of Architecture, the young man once again turned to the cinema as a director, but in 1949 the death of his father forced him to take over the reins of the family lighting production business.It was then that the alchemy began to work: in just a few years, Sciolari transformed the company, propelling it onto the international stage. Under his leadership, the brand became the leading Italian supplier of lighting fixtures to the United States, its creations being distributed through prestigious partnerships with America by Lightolier and Progress Lighting.Even in the legendary TV series Dallas, his work slipped onto the screen, testifying to its impact. Sciolari is not only a brilliant entrepreneur, but also a prolific designer with a unique talent, having collaborated with design greats such as Stilnovo, Boulanger and Stilkronen.
