Very nice and impressive large chandelier model 1173 designed and manufactured by stilnovo, italy 1950. This is for a very nice modernist shaped chandelier conical shaped shades with brass, painted metal and glass diffuser shades. Two brass arms hold the shades together and the lamp hangs on its four electrical wires. Signed with the stilnovo sticker on top of a shade, but signed with the quality of stilnovo all over. The lamp gives very nice diffused warm light when lit. The lamp is in excellent original condition, only one shade has a very minor flea bite chip, hard to see (picture 10). Stilnovo was one of the better italian light manufacturers together with arteluce and arredoluce. All pieces are original stilnovo productions, most are marked and or documented in books. All our lights are checked, cleaned and are suitable for use in the usa. For us usage you would only have to change the plug or get a holiday converter. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution, up to 250v (europe/uk standard).the wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
