The lamp is distinguished by a complex geometric "tree" or constellation-like structure. The central axis in black lacquered metal supports a series of staggered arms culminating in cylindrical elements in solid brass. Each light point is crowned by spherical diffusers in cased opaline glass, partially shielded by hemispherical black metal caps that create a sophisticated visual contrast and a soft, atmospheric light diffusion.

The heavy, monumental circular base is crafted from precious pale marble (which incorporates the original brass push-button switch).

A gallery-worthy piece of exceptional sculptural impact, capable of defining the space of a period living room or a contemporary interior design project.

Excellent vintage condition consistent with its age. The opal glass is intact, with no cracks or chips. The brass has a beautiful, natural patina with light oxidation, testifying to its authenticity. The lacquered metal shows minimal surface signs of use. The electrical system has been checked and is in perfect working order.
