Italian ceiling lantern, made of patinated brass and blown glass panels. Its curved structure and architectural profile encloses the clear glass, creating a play of volumes typical of Venetian design.
Inspired by the lanterns used since the 18th century in the courtyards, galleries, and entrances of Venetian palazzi, this mid-20th-century model continues the Italian artisanal tradition where metalwork and blown glass are combined to create elegant and lightweight lighting fixtures.
Designed to hang in lobbies, stairwells, or covered galleries, this type of lantern provided soft lighting while adding a decorative presence to the space.
The traces of time are part of its beauty.
The piece is preserved in good condition, having elegantly withstood the passage of time. Like any antique piece, it may show slight signs of use, patina, or small irregularities inherent to its history, features that enhance its authenticity and make it a unique object.
Dimensions: 71 cm high (including the finial) x 42 cm in diameter at the widest part of the lamp.
