Large Smoked Glass Cascade Chandelier from Ott International, 1970s

This is a stunningly rare chance to purchase a unique 7 light cascading solid brass & copper dyed hand blown glass chandelier purchased and owned by one person since bought in 1970; featuring beautiful crafted brass clasps, hand blown glass, brass highlighted aluminium ceiling rose & adjustable drop wires, this is a truly incredible piece.

crafted in west germany in the 1970s by acclaimed lighting architecture company ott international, this chandelier was released as part of a small special collection with only 10 being made. The collection being so small allowed for the very best quality assurance; each shade is hand blown and given its delicate amber glow using molten copper dripped into it at heat, the brass clasps that sit inside the shade are beautifully finished & the brass motifs that sit on the anodised aluminium ceiling rose ooze style & attention to detail.

this immensely rare piece of late midcentury modernist lighting architecture is a wonderful example of a culmination of years of ultra stylised design renown of ott international paired with the immense attention to detail such a small collection receives. This piece would sit proud in any home and is an investment piece that will last and increase in value for many generations.
