Ten-Tier Cascading Chandelier by Tapio Wirkkala for Oy Airam AB, Finland

About the Item

A rare and monumental ten-tier pendant cascading chandelier by Finnish master designer Tapio Wirkkala, produced by Oy Airam AB of Finland with cased opaline glass shades. Some designs have the bulb he designed for Airam forming the diamond shape whereas in this example the opaline diamond shapes are glass shades and particularly uncommon. Measures: 60" tall (though can be extended to much longer lengths), 19" wide. Each pendant is 13.5" long and 5" wide and takes a 25 watt bulb. The ceiling mounting plate is 15" wide. Cords are slightly warped only in the photo from having been packed and will settle out to be straight after a few days after being hung. See the 4th photo as the lamp was prior to removal. Produced sometime between 1960 and mid-1970s and with ten pendants, it is one of the largest examples to be found anywhere and a very fine example of vintage modernist lighting at it's apex. Brass accents to each cord as well a central brass attachment knob to the ceiling plate with the plate trimmed in brass. Pendants are black enamel with minor scuffing. Glass shades are removable and are in perfect condition. All original and in excellent condition. All hardware is 100% original. This will be sent via Federal express and require minor assembly. Shipping on this article is complimentary.
