Each fixture features a broad, sculptural opaline glass shade with a raised central dome and gently curved profile. Sweeping brown and white linear decoration follows the contours of the glass, emphasizing the fluid shape and giving the lights a distinctive graphic quality. The combination of luminous white glass, warm brass details and the wide disc-shaped silhouette reflects the sophisticated italian lighting design of the 1970s, with clear mid-century modern and space age influences. Both glass shades retain their original “venice glass – hand made in italy” labels. When illuminated, the opaline glass beautifully diffuses the light, creating a soft and atmospheric warm glow. With a substantial diameter of 54 cm / 21.3 in each, the pendants work especially well as a pair above a dining table, kitchen island or within a large residential or hospitality interior. The brass components have been carefully repolished and both fixtures have been professionally rewired with new electrical components.
