Stunning Marked Crystal and Gilt Metal Chandelier, Kinkeldey, Germany, 1970

This modernist design chandelier was designed by the Kinkeldey design team during the 1970s, and manufactured in Germany by Kinkeldey. The frame is also stamped with the Kinkeldey manufacturer’s mark. A very elegant and fine chandelier, it is comfortable with all decor periods. The chandeliers from Kinkeldey are executed to a very high standard.

It features a 24-karat gold-plated structure from which 46 quality crystal rods are suspended. The removable crystals secure to the frame with solid brass decorative cylinder screws. This chandelier carries horizontally inside the frame 3 standard small screw light bulbs (E14) up to 60 watts
and one standard big screw light bulb (E27) up to 100 watts at the bottom.

The rod is removable and screws to the top of the frame. The original brass ceiling cup finishes the rod at the top. Inside the ceiling cup there is an S-hook for safely fitting the light to the ceiling.

Heavy quality and in perfect condition. Cleaned, well-wired and ready to use. The chandelier can be disassembled and the crystals individually wrapped for easy transport. We can supply, free of charge, any length of rod.

Kinkeldey is a German manufacturer of high-end lighting fixtures. The company attracted international attention when they won the prestigious IF Design Award in 1969 with a chandelier fitted with prism cut crystals. During the 1970s Kinkeldey produced a number of variations on this award winning model, like the one offered here. Though these lamps show the same quality as fixtures of companies like Bakalowits, Lobmeyer and Palwa, the Kinkeldey models tend to be more modern in their design approach.
