Italian Modernist Three-Fixture Glass, Brass and Metal Floor Lamp by Stilnovo
By Stilnovo
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Triple socket floor lamp composed of black enameled-metal stems and steel base with brass accents and cased glass cylindrical fixtures by Stilnovo (Italy, ca. 1950s).

Takes three E14 base bulbs. We are using 3W globe bulbs (30 watt equivalent) warm white bulbs in the images with the shades on. Additionally, one of the images shows the lamp with three different kinds of E14 bulbs to illustrate various options of bulbs that can be used.
The plug has been changed for US use.
Stylish, unique piece with age-commensurate wear present (patina/light wear to the original black enamel along with tarnish spots to the brass, as shown). Overall, in very good, vintage condition.
Unmarked.
