The shade takes the form of a three-dimensional globe, constructed from radially and uniformly arranged wicker rods that converge into horizontal structural rings. This design creates an open and airy sphere, simultaneously solid and light, with a beautifully balanced geometry. The regular weave allows light to filter in, projecting soft, deep, circular shadows that accentuate its decorative and sculptural character.

with an approximate diameter of 50 cm and a total drop of nearly 90 cm, this lamp is among the largest models produced in this type of handcrafted piece, making it a central element in any room. Suspended, the sphere appears to float, a quality reinforced by the visual continuity between the chain and the upper structure, also made of wicker, which maintains the overall material coherence.

The piece retains all its original elements, including the complete structure, suspension chain, and period electrical wiring—a particularly rare find. It is presented in exceptional condition, with no breaks, deformations, or subsequent modifications.

An authentic, intact, and highly unusual lamp that combines craftsmanship, volume, and a striking presence, ideal for interiors with a natural, Mediterranean, or sophisticated bohemian sensibility.
