Very desirable and exceptional large ‘snowball’ chandelier designed by Emil Stejnar for Rupert Nikoll. This impressive piece of lighting displays the exemplary talent of the mid-century Austrian brass procuct- and lighting design; around a brass centerball over 60 arms are arranged which ends in a bulbholder or a press-glass ornament. Each arm holds metal pins with glass facet details, which complete the glamorous atmosphere of this magnificent piece.
The lights’ spherical shape with its symmetrical arranged arms strongly reminds of a dandelion seed head, where it takes its name from.
All bulbholders ( over 30 ! ) are functioning perfectly, the brass finish on the arms has darkened over the years, which provides a highly vintage look. All can be polished up to high gloss brass when desired. The lights’ glass details are complete.
