Large Chandelier 2097/50 by Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce

This iconic chandelier model 2097/50 is designed by Gino Sarfatti in 1958 and produced by Arteluce, Italy.
For this chandelier, Sarfatti was inspired by the archetype of the ancient chandelier.
The many chrome-plated steel arms are screwed directly to the central stem which is also chrome-plated. The sockets are made of bakelite.
The 50 little bulbs create an amazing light effect.
This chandelier is complete with the original ceiling components marked with the Arteluce label (a part of it, see picture).
It is still in great condition, the electricity is controlled and perfect.
