This piece is attributed to Fontana Arte designed by Pietro Chiesa one of the greatest Italian deco designer.
This elegant Fontana Arte pendant light is a refined example of Italian design from the mid-20th century, combining sculptural simplicity with exquisite craftsmanship.
3 E 27 light bulbs.
The fixture features a large, shallow bowl of finely acid-etched glass, beautifully decorated with an engraved floral and foliage motif that diffuses the light with exceptional softness. At its center, a burnished brass ring creates a striking contrast with the frosted glass, emphasizing the harmonious balance between transparency and warm metallic tones.
Suspended by three slender brass rods connected to a delicately sculpted central fitting, the chandelier conveys a sense of lightness and geometric elegance characteristic of Fontana Arte’s timeless aesthetic. The combination of satin-finished glass, engraved botanical decoration, and patinated brass reflects the refined taste of Italian modernism while retaining subtle Art Deco influences.
Both decorative and functional, this rare pendant is perfectly suited to sophisticated interiors, where it serves as both a luminous centerpiece and a collectible work of Italian design.
Cleaned and re-wired, in full working order and ready to use. In excellent vintage condition. The glass is in original and in good condition without chips or cracks. This light fixture can be disassembled and the glass individually wrapped for easy transport.
