An exceptional mid-20th century Venetian chandelier of remarkable craftsmanship, featuring an ornate gilt brass frame adorned with vividly colored crystal fruit motifs. Made in Venice, Italy — the heart of fine glass artistry — this chandelier captures the whimsical elegance and exuberant charm of Italian mid-century design. The composition showcases an exquisite arrangement of hand-cut crystal fruits including grapes, apples, and pears, rendered in a harmonious palette of red, purple, green, turquoise, and pink. Each piece is masterfully faceted to reflect and refract the light, creating a dazzling play of color and brilliance. The gilt brass frame, with its soft patina and intricate scrollwork, provides a rich contrast to the vibrant crystal elements. The chandelier features a two-tiered circular form with ten arms on the lower tier, offering generous illumination and sculptural balance. It has been rewired for U.S. electrical use and requires no special bulbs. Perfect for a dining room, grand foyer, or salon, this piece serves as both a functional light fixture and a true work of decorative art. Great condition overall with minor wear consistent with age and use. Rewired for U.S. use. Approximately 32.5 inches in diameter × 32.5 inches in height (excluding the hanging chain).
