It is a great classic of the late 60s and early 70s, by the renowned designer Renato Toso i glass, for the famous Leucos luminaire manufacturer. This object is presented in very good condition. Manufacturer: Luecos (since 1962) and Renato Toso are most outstanding art glass companies on the Venetian island of Murano. None of their lamps are identical and are all handmade / blown. The lamp is hanging from a brass ring on a steel wire, leading to a brass canopy. The brass is oxidized through its age. Outstanding design detail is that the perforations in the brass ring allow different hanging positions of the shade from downwards (as it is now) to sideways for more sculptural impact. The chosen position is then fixed permanently by a steel cable. Second lamp of the same model available in clear and white glass, see the last pictures Dimensions Shade; Height 40 cm, Diameter 44 cm.
