1960s Venini Murano Glass Striped Ball Ceiling Light
Located in Florence, Tuscany
We recently reclaimed five Venini balls lamps from the renovation of a palazzo in Florence. These 1960s Murano glass ball lights are clear with opaque white diagonal stripes. The murano glass balls are extremely special and are in perfect condition. The metal rods, ceiling rose and fittings are tarnished with age as can be seen from the photographs. The new owner will need to be happy with this level of tarnish or replace the metal work. The lights have their original wiring but may benefit from rewiring. This level of wear together with the tarnished metal have been reflected in the price. We currently have 5 of these available.

Lovely Glass Ceiling Lamp by Peill & Putzler, 1970s
Located in Nürnberg, Bayern
Vintage German pendant lamp in glass by Peill & Putzler.
1x E27 socket.
Measures: Total height 60cm. Diameter 27cm.
The Peill and Sohn Glassworks in Düren, destroyed in World War II, and the Putzler brothers' works in Penzig, expropriated by the Polish state, merged in 1946. This resulted in the Dürener Werk with the directors Günther Peill and Hans Ahrenkiel under the name Peill + Putzler in 1952. The first glass was melted in 1948. In 1994 this important smelter had to stop its work. Important designers such as Prof. Wagenfeld, Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg and Aloys F. Gangkofner worked for Glashüttenwerke Peill and Putzler and made it known above all among architects. The cooperation with Aloys F. Gangkofner lasted from 1953-1958. A multitude of lighting models as well as goblet sets were created. The timeless iris glass...

Antique and Vintage Chandeliers and Pendant Lights for Sale: Shop Baccarat Chandeliers, Stilnovo Chandeliers and Other Lighting on 1stDibs
Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches. For those wealthy enough to afford them for their homes in the medieval period, a chandelier's suspended lights likely exuded imminent danger, as lit candles served as the light source for fixtures of the era. Things have thankfully changed since then, and antique chandeliers and pendant lights are popular in many interiors today.
While gas lighting during the late 18th century represented an upgrade for chandeliers — and gas lamps would long inspire Danish architect and pioneering modernist lighting designer Poul Henningsen — it would eventually be replaced with the familiar electric lighting of today.
The key difference between a pendant light and a chandelier is that a pendant incorporates only a single bulb into its design. Don’t mistake this for simplicity, however. An Art Deco–styled homage to Sputnik from Murano glass artisans Giovanni Dalla Fina, with handcrafted decorative elements supported by a chrome frame, is just one stunning example of the elaborate engineering that can be incorporated into every component of a chandelier. (Note: there is more than one lighting fixture that shares its name with the iconic mid-century-era satellite — see Gino Sarfatti’s design too.)
Chandeliers have evolved over time, but their classic elegance has remained unchanged.
Not only will the right chandelier prove impressive in a given room, but it can also offer a certain sense of practicality. These fixtures can easily illuminate an entire space, while their elevated position prevents them from creating glare or straining one’s eyes.
Certain materials, like glass, can complement naturally lit settings without stealing the show. Brass, on the other hand, can introduce an alluring, warm glow. While LEDs have earned a bad reputation for their perceived harsh bluish lights and a loss of brightness over their life span, the right design choices can help harness their lighting potential and create the perfect mood. A careful approach to lighting can transform your room into a peaceful and cozy nook, ideal for napping, reading or working.
For midsize spaces, a wall light or sconce can pull the room together and get the lighting job done. Perforated steel rings underneath five bands of handspun aluminum support a rich diffusion of light within Alvar Aalto's Beehive pendant light, but if you’re looking to brighten a more modest room, perhaps a minimalist solution is what you’re after. The mid-century modern furniture designer Charlotte Perriand devised her CP-1 wall lamps in the 1960s, in which a repositioning of sheet-metal plates can redirect light as needed.
The versatility and variability of these lighting staples mean that, when it comes to finding something like the perfect chandelier, you’ll never be left hanging. From the natural world-inspired designs of the Art Nouveau era to the classic beauty of Paul Ferrante's fixtures, there is a style for every room.
With designs for pendant lights and chandeliers across eras, colors and materials, you’ll never run out of options to explore on 1stDibs — shop a collection today that includes antique Art Deco chandeliers, Stilnovo chandeliers, Baccarat chandeliers and more.
