Orbitale chandelier with 3 rotating arms on the new Giacometti style finish.
Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
This new finish adds a unique textured look to the Orbitale collection. It is a thick, handmade plaster finish called the Giacometti finish, used by Diego and Alberto on some of their works.
I added hand-applied gold leaf inside the shades to create a warm contrast for the chandelier.

Large Vintage, Mid Century Modern Handcrafted Brass Round 8 Layers Pendant Light
Located in Lisse, NL
Rare design, three light pendants with layered brass shades.
If you are looking for a striking and extraordinary light fixture to grace your midcentury living or work space then these, European works of lighting art could be ideal for you. Mind you, we have a set of four, but we have decided to offer them as singles as well.
* NOTE, three have already been sold, and this is the very last one available.
This very stylishly handcrafted fixture dates back to the 1960s and its design is truly remarkable. The shade itself is created from eight thick layers of brass and the design is very well balanced. Due to the different size of each layer, the light is able to radiate through in various directions, which creates a beautiful atmospheric effect. One that truly is a joy to look at. The design and the material used really make these lights works of art and pendant lights into one. These chandeliers are in good condition and the patina is simply wonderful. With these pendants having been rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA, they are ready to be used and enjoyed in the land of the free...

Vintage and Antique Lighting for Sale: Unique Table Lamps, Floor Lamps, Sconces and Other Lighting for Your Home
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
