About the Item
This exquisite Murano Glass Chandelier embodies the refined aesthetic of mid-century Italian design, circa 1948. Attributed to the influential designer Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte, this piece is a testament to sophisticated lighting from post-war Italy. The chandelier features a striking composition, suspended from a slender brass drop rod culminating in a polished brass ceiling rose. The light source is housed within a beautiful opaline glass diffuser bowl, which has a gentle, conical form and a frosted, ethereal quality, providing soft, diffused illumination. This central element is adorned with a distinctive brass star-shaped element at its base, a subtle yet elegant embellishment. Encircling the inner diffuser is a large, thin, and slightly convex disc of pink-tinted glass, possibly a form of vetro colorato (colored glass). This outer disc not only adds an expansive, dramatic silhouette but also introduces a warm, blush tone to the light's overall colour temperature, creating an inviting atmosphere. The clean lines, mixed materials, and the use of artisan Murano glass align perfectly with the high-quality, innovative designs characteristic of both Pietro Chiesa's work and the esteemed production of Fontana Arte during this period. This chandelier is an exceptional example of Italian modernist lighting that would serve as a stunning focal point in any contemporary or vintage interior.
The light requires three E26/E27 light bulbs. Works with US and European electrics 110/120/220V. Very good vintage condition.
