Mid-Century Artisan-Made Brass & Crystal Beaded Chandelier | 1970's | Vintage Lighting Toronto
When people ask what mid-century craftsmanship looks like, this is the piece you point to. An ornate brass crown, detailed with a hand-worked laurel band, sits atop a cascade of hand-strung crystal beading in alternating clear and rich cobalt blue. It's a small piece with a big personality — the kind of fixture that makes an entryway, powder room, or landing feel finished. Features: Aged brass frame with ornate laurel-leaf detailing at the crown Hand-strung crystal beading in alternating clear and cobalt blue Compact cylindrical silhouette with cascading crystal strands Artisan-made construction — one-of-a-kind character, not mass produced Ideal scale for a hallway, powder room, closet, or stairwell landing Professionally cleaned and restored, wiring inspected for safe use 15" of the beaded body Standard size bulb up to 100W Design & Style Notes Hand-strung crystal beading like this reflects an old-world European technique for chandelier-making that made its way into smaller-scale statement lighting through the mid-century period — a nod to old-world glamour scaled down for real homes. The brass crown's laurel motif adds a touch of formality that plays beautifully against a more pared-back mid-century room, and the cobalt crystal gives it a pop of colour you don't see in most vintage lighting finds. It's a compact piece that punches well above its size — perfect for a Toronto foyer, a powder room that needs personality, or anywhere that could use one unexpected, sparkling detail.
