A 1950s Italian pendant light in the manner of Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte. The wide, handblown glass dish floats from a single brass rod—its clear surface etched with delicate lines and elliptical impressions that catch and refract the light. Below, a scalloped brass finial fans into three curled arms, each one elegantly bent.
Suited to hang low over a dining table or anchor a high-ceilinged entryway—drawing the eye without overwhelming the room.
Founded in 1932 in Milan, Fontana Arte occupies a unique space at the crossroads of art and design. Celebrated for its innovative approach to glass, the brand harmonizes traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Through collaborations with iconic designers like Gae Aulenti and Pietro Chiesa, Fontana Arte has created timeless pieces that elevate everyday environments.
Condition: Great vintage condition with age-appropriate patina to the brass. The handblown glass shade is free of chips or cracks and securely affixed to the brass stem. This pendant has been professionally rewired by our team of restorationists with a new canopy, while preserving the original sockets. Accepts two E26 base light bulbs.
Additional Dimensions: Canopy: 5"Diameter; Drop: 24"
