Originally conceived as a table lamp, this 195 cm tall version is a floor lamp, exceptional in its proportions, materials, and state of preservation.
The structure is composed of a metal base and stem with brass joints. The diffuser is made of frosted and engraved glass, topped by a transparent Nile green glass cup, a rare and precious detail that characterizes many Fontana Arte pieces of the period.
It features a six-light lamp holder, with the original switch still in working order, a sign of its era and a construction quality that is difficult to replicate. Its dimensions (height 195 cm, diameter 79 cm) make it a striking and refined object, suitable for classic, modernist, or collectors' spaces.
This piece represents a rare example of high-quality Italian craftsmanship in the field of decorative and functional lighting. A collectible and decorative object that tells the story of early twentieth-century Italian design.
