About the Item

Splendid original 1950's Italian ceiling flush or wall mounted sputnik fixture produced by Stilnovo with 12 arms and made of solid brass. The central half sphere and solid brass cylinder socket cups are shown in their original natural brass patina. The arms all have their original black enamel, giving these a two-tone black and gold effect. A nice feature of this high quality fixture is the depth of the sockets are adjustable within the brass sleeve depending on the typo of bulb you choose to use. Shown here with ridiculously elusive 'gold chrome' mirror top candelabra bulbs which are E14 and 220. In the USA they light at half power but still look cool.
