What does this mean?

Hi Carla,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This has a very retro vibe - I'm thinking 1960s or 1970s. There wee a couple of lamp makers working in similar styles at the time: Tom Greene / Monteverdi-Young (California, 1960s–70s): Famous for Brutalist torch-cut lamps, but his are usually copper or bronze with more jagged edges. Feldman Lighting (Los Angeles, mid-20th c.) produced pierced brass and Moroccan-style hanging lamps similar to this.

At auction, this would likely sell well with an estimate of $200-300.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage Brutalist Midcentury Modern cut tin chandelier
unattributed maker, circa 1960s-70s
Of circular section with flaring looped collar, the domed body formed by 8 pierced triangular panels with rounded rims. Unsigned.
13 inches high by 18 inches diameter
CONDITION: This appears to be in good condition.
PROVENANCE: From a late 1970s retreat center in Minnesota
$ 200-300*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
