GAETANO SCIOLARI STAR OF DAVID CHANDELIER FOR LIGHTOLIER
Crafted by the visionary Italian designer Gaetano Sciolari for Lightolier, the Star of David chandelier is a striking example of mid-century modern lighting at its most sculptural and sophisticated. Designed in the 1960s, this rare piece fuses Italian glamour with American innovation, showcasing Sciolari’s signature interplay of geometry, symmetry, and reflective surfaces. Its distinctive six-pointed star structure — formed by interlocking metal rods and glass cylinders — creates a captivating constellation of light and form.
Polished chrome and textured Lucite elements reflect and refract light beautifully, giving the chandelier both a luminous glow and an architectural presence. Each bulb is precisely positioned within the star formation to amplify light in all directions, casting dynamic shadows and reflections. Whether suspended above a dining table, in a foyer, or as the centerpiece of a gallery space, it commands attention without overpowering the room.
This Star of David chandelier is more than just a lighting fixture — it’s a collectible design object that embodies the glamour and experimentation of postwar modernism. As original Sciolari pieces for Lightolier become increasingly sought after, this chandelier offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of design history that remains timeless, bold, and undeniably elegant.
This particular example is in excellent vintage condition with no noticeable patina across the chrome or lucite pieces. Includes all globes.
