Price on request

An exceptional and rare Art Deco ceiling chandelier from Central Europe, circa 1930s. Featuring curved nickel-plated metal arms and seven spherical opaline glass globes in an Austro-Hungarian modernist tradition.

An exquisite and rare ceiling chandelier dating from the Art Deco period, originating from Central Europe around the 1930s. This striking piece exemplifies the Austro-Hungarian design tradition, combining fluid, gracefully curved arms and strict geometric metal framework with luminous white opaline glass globes. Such models were characteristic of high-end urban interiors in Vienna and Budapest during the interwar decades, where modernist geometric rigor harmonised effortlessly with classic proportions. Crafted with seven individual spherical shades—six arranged symmetrically around a central body and one anchor globe suspended directly below—the fixture delivers a remarkably balanced and diffused ambient illumination. Composed of nickel-plated metal and hand-blown opaline glass, the chandelier stands as a highly decorative statement piece, perfectly suited for period interiors, sophisticated reception rooms, or modern residences with high ceilings.
