Dandelion' Sputnik chandelier by Emil Stejnar, Vienna, Austria, 1955. Produced by Rupert Nikoll. 
This chandelier is made of faceted glass in the shapes of snowflakes. The Sputnik-like base, stem and ceiling cap are still intact and the contrasts nicely with the white glass which gives it a crisp and fresh appearance in almost any interior. 
   Emil Stejnar was trained as a gold- and silversmith in his hometown Vienna, Austria. He was inspired by nature and science, of which the Dandelion chandelier is a nice example of that. 
The chandelier has twelve sockets for E14 bulbs.
Dimensions: 36 x 36 cm.
Total height: 72 cm.
In beautiful and original condition.
