Product description
A stunning 9-arm Mid-Century Modern chandelier manufactured in the 1970s by the renowned Czechoslovakian lighting studio Kamenický Šenov. This piece is a quintessential example of "Brussels Style" and space-age design, blending sculptural brass elements with soft, opal glass diffusers.
Design and Condition
The chandelier features a central brass spherical hub from which nine arms extend, each terminating in a sleek brass cup and a white opal glass shade. The shades are designed in a distinctive "lentil" or flattened globe shape, providing a beautifully diffused, glare-free illumination.
The piece is in very good original condition. The brass shows a light, authentic patina consistent with its age, and all nine glass shades are free of cracks or significant chips.
Technical Specifications
This fixture is uniquely versatile due to its wiring configuration:
Dual-Circuit Functionality: The chandelier is wired for two separate circuits. It can be switched as 6 lights, 3 lights, or all 9 lights simultaneously (requires a double switch/dual-pole installation), allowing for adjustable ambiance from mood lighting to full room illumination.
Light Source: 9 x E14 base bulbs (max 40W each).
History of the Manufacturer
Kamenický Šenov is located in the heart of the Bohemian glass-making region and is world-famous for its high-quality lighting fixtures. In the 1960s and 70s, the company collaborated with leading designers to create avant-garde pieces that are now highly sought after by collectors of 20th-century design.
