It features a sculptural gilt brass structure shaped like swirling leaves, surrounding a central white opaline glass globe. The hand-crafted metalwork, with detailed veins and folds that mimic natural leaf structures, evokes the organic and floral aesthetic typical of mid-century Italian design, particularly reminiscent of makers like Stilnovo and decorators associated with the Florentine and Milanese schools. The brass has been skillfully shaped and hand-finished, with a warm, subtly aged gilding that adds depth and character to the piece. The hand-blown opaline globe emits a soft, diffused light, creating a warm and refined atmosphere. With its contained proportions and decorative yet unobtrusive design, this fixture is ideal for entryways, hallways, bedrooms, or stairwells, and fits beautifully in both modern interiors and eclectic or vintage-inspired spaces. A decorative and functional object—perfect for those looking to add a touch of 1950s Italian elegance to their interiors. Excellent vintage condition, with minor signs of age and use. As shown in the photos, the lamp houses a single light bulb inside the globe, which provides a warm and gentle illumination. Beneath the base, where the brass leaves converge, there is a round brass box that houses the wiring, along with a small metal bracket that allows secure attachment to the wall or ceiling. The electrical system is in working order. Wiring is European; voltage compatibility in other countries should be verified by a qualified electrician prior to use.
