Design Features:
Structure: The chandelier features a sleek and symmetrical 12-arm configuration, radiating from a central column. Each arm gently curves outward and upward, supporting a single light covered with a Murano glass shade.

Material: Crafted primarily from patinated brass, the piece exudes a warm vintage character. The brass has aged gracefully, with a subtle darkened finish that enhances its mid-century aesthetic, each light bulb is beautifully concealed by a conical Murano glass shade.

Glass Shades: Each of the twelve arms is fitted with a handblown Murano glass shade. These shades are conical in shape and vertically ribbed or fluted, giving them a refined texture that gently diffuses the light.

Central Ornament: Where the arms meet the vertical stem, a decorative brass element resembling stylized leaves or a starburst crown adds a sculptural focal point—typical of Stilnovo’s sophisticated approach to form and detail.

Ceiling Mount: The chandelier is suspended from a long brass rod that ends in a tapered cone-shaped ceiling canopy, contributing to the chandelier's vertical elegance.

The piece does not retain manufacturing labels.

Measurements: 36.25 inches high x 37.50 inches in diameter. See less
