It testifies to the refinement and creativity of Italian artisans of the Mid-Century period, revisiting classic styles with a resolutely modern elegance.

The structure combines a central shaft of turned and gilded wood with an airy frame of gilded metal, likely brass. The whole is punctuated by delicate strings of translucent glass beads, while the hand-blown glass pendants, tinted a subtle azure blue, add a touch of freshness and particularly decorative luminosity.

Both sophisticated and luminous, this light fixture stands out as a statement piece, ideal for a designer's interior. It finds its place naturally in a contemporary, vintage, or neoclassical setting, bringing a precious and timeless touch. Originating in Italy, this light fixture was made in the 1960s, during the Mid-Century Modern period, using gilded wood, gilded metal (brass), glass beads, and tinted glass pendants. It is presented today in excellent condition, with no missing glass elements. The electrical wiring has been completely overhauled and brought up to code, and the light fixture is ready for installation.
