An amazing and hard to find “Ballerina” chandelier with eight-arms designed by Finnish Paavo Tynell and produced by Lightolier in the 1960’s. Very large 26 inch diameter fixture features a circular ring from which 8 curvilinear arms radiate with matte lacquered taupe/grey (original to the fixture), spun brass tone aluminum, perforated conical shades enhanced with brass caged embellishments nicely patinated, suspended by a brass pole capped with the original canopy. NOTE: we also have available TWO twelve-arm (12) Ballerina chandeliers with slightly different coloring – see our other listings.
