Lot #100: Stunning MCM Italian Crystal Chandelier

Vintage mid-century Italian Maria Theresa crystal chandelier. Brilliant hand cut prisms in several different designs and sizes along with balls, full cut teardrops, floral clusters- this one has it all. Hand blown etched crystal cylinder surrounds the metal center. The largest beveled, faceted prisms are 3 long. It ends with a large faceted crystal cut ball the measures 2 across. All pieces are present and it is in beautiful condition. Is large and impressive, measuring 25 across x 20 high. 8 lights with etched crystal bobeches. There is some writing and numbers, perhaps a makers mark (unable to make it out) all on the top of the metal central arm holder. Its been in storage so could use a cleaning- can you imagine the brilliance after its cleaned!! Provenance: From the estate of a wealthy Italian family living in New York during the late 1950s. This chandelier was the matriarchs pride and joy. She would have a family member hold an inverted open umbrella underneath as she lovingly cleaned each sparkling piece:) Located in garage
