Mid-20th century lamp attributed to Pietro Chiesa, made of brass and glass with a central disk motif, Italian origin, dimensions 54 cm deep, 54 cm wide and 70 cm high, in good used condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
It's a mid-20th-century lamp that captures the refined and experimental spirit of design attributed to Pietro Chiesa, that master who could unite brass, crystal, and geometry in compositions that seemed suspended between craftsmanship and modernity. Here, the structure revolves around a central disc, a very characteristic motif of the disk reinterpretations within the Art Deco universe, where light becomes a plane, a surface, an almost architectural element.
The brass, warm and slightly satin, provides the sculptural base: a clean, ascending rod that supports the luminous body with restrained elegance. It is not ostentatious metal; it is a metal that breathes craft, that ages with dignity, that brings that deep shine that only appears in well-worked pieces. Its vertical presence recalls Italian lamps from the forties and fifties, where the purity of the line was as important as the material.
The crystal, arranged in the form of a disc and topped by a frosted dome, creates a play of soft, diffused, enveloping light. That combination—transparent disc and opal dome—is a direct nod to the language of Chiesa: clarity, geometry, a futuristic touch that never abandons the classical elegance of Art Deco. The lamp not only illuminates downward; it illuminates into the space, into the ambiance, as if it wanted to draw a halo.
Together, it is a piece that blends Italian modernity, Art Deco geometry, architectural brass, and stage-set crystal, a lamp that not only lights but defines the place where it is installed.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
