Art Deco brass and opaline glass ceiling lamp dating from the 20th century, originated in France, in good used condition and in working order, measuring 60 cm high and 32 cm wide.
Description from the seller
It is a lamp that embodies that domestic and elegant spirit of the 1930s, when white opaline became one of the preferred materials to create soft, enveloping light with an almost cinematic air. The white opaline glass globe, with its rounded shape and uniformly milky surface, diffuses light without edges, creating that warm glow that defined so many fixtures of the era. The opaline, worked by fire and blown with precision, retains that even thickness that reveals a carefully crafted artisanal process, typical of workshops that still combined tradition and modernity.
The brass structure, polished and with a deep golden shine, provides the classical counterpoint. The upper ring, the decorative perforations, and the suspension system show that taste for functional detail turned into ornament. The brass, with its warm tone, dialogues with the whiteness of the opaline and reinforces the sense of a well-made piece, designed to last and to provide presence even when switched off.
Overall, it is a lamp that combines blown opaline glass and brass worked into an aesthetic that blends early modernism and classicism, highly representative of the thirties. A piece that lights softly and, because of its balanced design, continues to function today as a decorative object full of character.
Certified shipping and careful packaging.
