This exquisite chandelier is an outstanding example of mid-century Italian design. Stilnovo, a renowned lighting manufacturer active since the 1940s and particularly influential during the 1950s and 1960s. Design Features: Structure: The chandelier features a sleek and symmetrical 12-arm configuration, radiating from a central column. Each arm gently curves outward and upward, supporting a single light covered with a Murano glass shade. Material: Crafted primarily from patinated brass, the piece exudes a warm vintage character. The brass has aged gracefully, with a subtle darkened finish that enhances its mid-century aesthetic, each light bulb is beautifully concealed by a conical Murano glass shade. Glass Shades: Each of the twelve arms is fitted with a handblown Murano glass shade. These shades are conical in shape and vertically ribbed or fluted, giving them a refined texture that gently diffuses the light. Central Ornament: Where the arms meet the vertical stem, a decorative brass element resembling stylized leaves or a starburst crown adds a sculptural focal point—typical of Stilnovo’s sophisticated approach to form and detail. Ceiling Mount: The chandelier is suspended from a long brass rod that ends in a tapered cone-shaped ceiling canopy, contributing to the chandelier's vertical elegance. The piece does not retain manufacturing labels. Measurements: 36.25 inches high x 37.50 inches in diameter.
