Executed around 1930 - 40s, the chandelier is a designed in the meticulous Italian Liberty style. This cylindrical wrought iron chandelier is surmounted by 2 circles and is held by rare stylized candle holders. Unexpectedly, Girardi has placed a finely crafted copper hanging dish that illuminates it from underneath. Inscriptions in Latin on wrought iron: + LAUDATO SIE - LO SIGNORE - PER FRATE - FOGUE - PER LO OURLE - ENNALLUMINI - LA NOCTE “This chandelier is very modern for its time and its central copper piece with candles makes it timeless. I like the sacred and rigid side of the candle sticks. Girardi intelligently fused the candles around the crown with the electric lighting on the central copper piece creating a magnificent contrast. " Régis Mathieu Alberto Gerardi (1889 - 1965) was a well sought-after artist from Italy. Alberto Gerardi's work has been offered at auctions multiple times, with high realized prices depending on the size of the work. A Floor Lamp, was sold at Christie's New York in 2016 at a record price.
Probablement exécuté dans les années 30/40, ce lustre de forme longitudinale reprend le style Liberty italien dans un dessin très épuré. Ce lustre cylindrique en fer battu surmonté de deux cercles tenus par des bougeoirs stylisés est très inhabituel. Girardi a placé de manière inattendue en son centre, une coupelle suspendue en cuivre finement travaillée qui renvoie la lumière par le bas. Inscriptions en latin sur fer forgé: + LAUDATO SIE - LO SIGNORE - PER FRATE - FOGUE - PER LO OURLE - ENNALLUMINI - LA NOCTE « Ce lustre est très moderne pour son époque et sa pièce centrale en cuivre avec les bougies le rend intemporel. J’apprécie le côté sacré et rigide des piques cierges que Girardi a eu l’intelligence de mélanger à la fois au registre des bougies autour de la couronne et avec l’éclairage électrique de cette pièce centrale en cuivre qui vient contraster». Régis Mathieu Alberto Gerardi (1889 - 1965), artiste italien recherché à son époque. Le travail d'Alberto Gerardi a été proposé aux enchères à plusieurs reprises, atteignant des cotes élevées en fonction de la taille de ses œuvres.
