Description

This metal chandelier is an Italian toleware fixture in the French/Florentine revival style, marked “Made in Italy T25.” It measures approximately 24 inches in diameter and 21 inches in height and features five candle-style lights arranged around a central urn-form body. The fixture is constructed of painted metal in a warm ochre or terracotta tone with black accent trim, and it retains its decorative metal shades with printed foliate motifs. The overall form—central vessel, scrolling arms, and flared shades—is consistent with mid-century Italian decorative lighting produced for export.

The “Made in Italy” marking indicates country of origin rather than a specific, identifiable manufacturer. During the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1940s through the 1960s, many Italian workshops produced toleware lighting for international markets, especially the United States. The accompanying T25 marking is generally understood to be a model, pattern, or internal factory code used by a workshop or exporter, rather than a brand name. Similar markings (such as T26 or TZ6) appear across comparable chandeliers with minor variations in arm count, proportions, or decorative details.

Stylistically, this chandelier reflects the Italian interpretation of historic French lighting forms, often marketed as Florentine style, characterized by hand-painted finishes, classical urn silhouettes, and ornamental metalwork. The five-light configuration represents a variation on the more commonly encountered six-light examples, while maintaining identical overall dimensions and design language. Fixtures of this type were intended to evoke Old World elegance while remaining accessible for mid-century residential interiors, making them enduring decorative pieces and collectible examples of Italian export lighting from the mid-20th century.
