A striking Medusa pendant lamp by Carlo Nason for A.V. Mazzega, featuring a sculptural layered glass form that gives the fixture its distinctive, almost organic presence. The rounded outer shade is formed in softly stepped tiers, surrounding an elongated inner diffuser that glows warmly when illuminated. The opaline glass softens the light while emphasizing the pendant’s dimensional construction, creating a beautiful contrast with the polished chrome fittings above. Both futuristic and distinctly Italian, the design feels equally suited to a modern dining room, entryway, or intimate seating area. A dramatic statement piece with a playful silhouette and atmospheric light, balancing sculptural form with functional design. The glass presents beautifully, with a few very light edge flecks on the inner rims consistent with its vintage age. These are subtle, difficult to impossible to notice when installed, and do not detract from the overall appearance. 17" from the bottom to the top of the glass. 15" diameter.
