Angelo Brotto "Natalia" Brass and Glass Table Lamp for Esperia, Italy 1970s

About the Item

Angelo Brotto was a Venetian artist and designer, recognised as a master of Murano glasswork and for his unique lamp designs. After graduating in 1941 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, his career immediately took off, and he eventually won multiple art and design awards. During the 1960s and 70s, he collaborated with the Murano glass maker Esperia, where he developed his craft. His lamps played with artistic modern shapes and innovated traditional methods of glasswork. The model “Natalia” exemplifies Angelo Brotto’s expertise, and showcases the quality found within Esperia’s catalogue. The “Natalia” table lamp has a beautiful moon-like silhouette that will embellish any space it occupies. It was crafted using a Murano glass making technique know as “Pulegoso”, deriving from the Italian word for bubble (“puleghe”). This technique results in intricate bubble-like details in the glass from adding a compound to the molten glass. The Pulegoso technique was made famous in the 1920s by Napoleone Martinuzzi, at the Venini glassworks in Murano, Italy. Murano glass has been highly desirable for centuries due to the complex process involved, taking several decades to master. It is considered a luxury to many, both for the excellent artistry behind each piece but also praised for their aesthetic value. The light emitted by the glass has a soft glow that will add a cozy accent to any interior. The sculptural brass embraces the glass and adds an elegant visual element. It has unique texture and asymmetrical shape creates a beautiful balance with the glass shade. Esperia was established in 1952 in Poggibonsi, Siena. Although the manufacturer initially produced lighting for bathrooms, from the 1960s, they started manufacturing lighting for the entire home which was met with great success. Their lamps have distinctive and innovative designs, and are a testament to the excellence of Italian artistry. Esperia today has expanded internationally whilst remaining true to Italian heritage and the art of glass making. Other great glassmakers that collaborated with Esperia include Paolo Venini, another master of Murano glassmaking. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The lamp has recently been rewired. Dimensions: 7.87 in ⌀ x 8. 27 in H 20 cm ⌀ x 21 cm H
