Rare pair of large wall lamps mod. 1537 designed by Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte in 1936.
Conical structure in brass, diffusers in satin and cut crystal.
Excellent condition.
In 1933 a department specialized in modern furnishings was created, which took the name of FontanaArte, whose direction, initially entrusted to Ponti, soon after, at the suggestion of the same, passed to Pietro Chiesa, who was able to lead it to the world top of the sector, until his premature death in 1948. The most varied articles were created: furniture, plates, boxes, picture frames, frames, mirrors, sculptures, stained glass windows, often designed by the most famous artists. But it was above all in the lighting fixtures that FontanaArte proved to be extraordinarily avant-garde, with models of pure rationalism, masterfully executed by making the most of all the crystal processes that were most congenial to it.
I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
