Description from the seller
Specifications:
Object: Pendant lamp / Lantern
Material: Hand-blown clear glass, wrought iron/metal wire
Style: Venetian / Mid-Century Italian
Height: Approx. 35 cm
Diameter: Approx. 25 cm
Light Source: 1x standard European fitting (likely E27). Bulb not included.
Description:
A striking Venetian-style pendant lamp, featuring clear glass that has been blown directly into a dark, rustic metal wire cage. This traditional Italian glassmaking technique allows the glass to expand and bulge slightly between the wire framework, creating a beautiful, organic lantern silhouette.
The contrast between the pristine clarity of the glass and the intentional, aged patina of the metalwork gives this piece a timeless, old-world appeal. It is a highly versatile lighting fixture that adds architectural interest and character to both vintage and contemporary interiors.
Condition:
The lamp is in excellent vintage condition. The glass is clear and fully intact, with no visible chips or cracks. The metal wire frame, top loop, and side screw-clamp mechanism are structurally sound, featuring a characteristic rustic finish. The wiring includes a modern terminal block, making it straightforward to install in a contemporary ceiling setup. Please review the photos carefully as they are an integral part of the description.
