How to spot a fake Caravaggio Shape The real Caravaggio has soft feminine curves that gently flare out towards the base of the shade, providing a sleek and balanced silhouette. The replica’s proportions are rather bell like and lacks elegance. Size The real Caravaggio series is available in five sizes, while the replica sizes are limited. Finish We found a really big difference in the paint finish when comparing the two. The real Caravaggio’s high gloss finish is perfect and consistent. The replica’s is less so. We found chips, paint runs and heavy handed over spray both inside and out. SUSPENSION We were most surprised by the suspension mechanism of the replica. The canopy top of the real Caravaggio is made from durable plastic in either black or white, while the canopy top of the replica we sampled was made from lightweight aluminum. ASSEMBLY Compared to the real Caravaggio which came fully assembled and meticulously packaged, the replica’s suspension mechanism had to be put together. Disapprovingly it was missing three grub screws and an allen key. Colour Visually, the bright red of the textile cable gives the replica away; the real Caravaggio’s cable is a deep red.
