Hanging lamp - Murano glass, Steel

Vintage Italian Space Age Pendant Light, Murano-Style Blown Glass, Mazzega Style, Chrome & Black Lacquered Wood — 1970s

Italian Space Age design at its most expressive — where industrial modernism meets the warmth of Venetian glassmaking craft.
A refined Italian pendant chandelier from the 1970s, embodying the Space Age aesthetic that defined European interior design at its creative peak. The piece brings together quality materials — black-lacquered wood elements and polished chrome steel structure — with art glass diffusers of considerable visual impact.
Structure
The frame features a central cylindrical chrome column from which three symmetrical arms extend outwards. The load-bearing elements in black-lacquered wood, shaped into arches with linear decorative cutouts, support the glass diffusers. The overall composition displays the balance typical of quality Italian production of the 1970s, with a striking contrast between polished and matte surfaces.
Glass Diffusers
The chandelier is fitted with three identical hand-blown art glass globes: opaline white glass with a central amber/red-orange inclusion, worked hot with a wave-like, textural effect (in the manner of sommerso or bullicante). This type of glasswork is entirely consistent with the Murano glassmaking tradition of the 1960s–70s.

Attribution
Acquired as Mazzega; attribution undocumented. The hand-blown glass with amber inclusion is consistent with the Murano glassmaking tradition of the 1960s–70s. The black-lacquered wood and chrome steel structure, with its characteristic linear decorative cutouts on the arched supports, recalls the formal language of Gaetano Sciolari and the Lombard-Venetian production of the period. The piece is attributable, in style and materials, to the Italian Space Age manufacturing tradition of the upper-middle range.
