This five-arm chandelier, produced in Kamenický Šenov during the 1960s, exemplifies Czech glassmaking mastery within the mid-century modern idiom. Its construction features a symmetrical, metallic core in a cool, mirror-like silver tone—extending into radiating arms and a ceiling cup, the assembly finished in a modern, spatial form. Each arm is capped with a decorative shade crafted from thick, clear glass, formed into clusters of convex bubbles that recall the shape of raspberries. The highly textured glass disperses and refracts light, creating crystalline effects and a dynamic play of reflections. The metalwork is uniform and smooth, rendered in a polished nickel sheen. The chandelier’s proportions—49 x 49 cm, with a height of 56 cm—underscore its sense of airy, defined geometry. All details are crafted with notable precision; concealed joints maintain the clean silhouette of the form. The piece remains in restored condition, showing no glass damage or metal corrosion, with all components authentic and complete. The lamp’s form brings forth the freshness and optimism of Central European modernism in the 1960s. The metallic sheen, organic texture of the glass clusters, and the geometric balance all speak to a period eager for experimentation and light. This chandelier communicates the era’s spirit through the contrast of its irregular glass forms and the rigor of its steel construction—where the histories of glass and modern architecture meet, suspended between practicality and ornament. Such a chandelier might serve as the central feature above a table in a spacious mid-century living room or a loft dining area, where
