Designer: Stilnovo Italy - Circa 1950s Dimensions: 38.5" H x 32" DIA Condition: Very good vintage condition. This Stilnovo brass and satin opaline glass 6 globe chandelier hails from Italy's 1950s era of design, a period renowned for its innovative and luxurious approaches to lighting. The chandelier is an exquisite representation of this, with a large, elegant brass ring of 21.5 inches in diameter at its core, from which six pristine white satin opaline glass globes gracefully supported. Each globe is delicately mounted to the exterior of the brass ring with slender tubular brass stems, culminating in black perforated metal supports—a beautiful contrast that enhances the design's visual interest. The opaline glass globes, measuring 7 inches in height and 6 inches in diameter, emit a soft and diffused light, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Suspended by six cream electrical cords that extend from a central brass ceiling canopy hub, this chandelier's height is adjustable, allowing for customization to suit the space it adorns. Adjustable in height by shortening or lengthening the cords. The chandelier as shown measures 38.5 inches in height and 32 inches in diameter, with a ceiling canopy of 5 inches in diameter, making it a substantial and captivating centerpiece for any room. Equipped to take six E14 light bulbs, the fixture includes E14 to E12 candelabra base adapters, ensuring compatibility and ease of bulb replacement. The brass has developed a general patina that speaks to its age and authenticity, adding character and a vintage appeal to the piece. The glass globes are in excellent condition, free from any chips or cracks, assuring its continued beauty and functionality. This Stilnovo chandelier is more than a light fixture; it is a piece of history, a work of art that embodies the spirit of mid-century Italian design, offering timeless elegance and sophistication to any contemporary or period-aligned interior. |
