AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and extraordinary three-element triple-binary wall light (6 total lamps) dating from the mid-20th century (Mid-Century Modern / Space Age style). Unlike the vast majority of models from the era made in sheet metal, this exceptional piece features three hourglass-shaped geometric diffusers (the “Diabolo”) crafted entirely in artisan glazed ceramic.
The splendid two-tone finish, characterized by a glossy bright red glaze interspersed with subtly textured white areas, is a refined original artisanal work reminiscent of the great Italian ceramic schools of the period, such as Nove di Bassano or Faenza.
The system is a dual emission (Up & Down): each cone houses two bulbs (one facing up and one down), creating a scenographic lighting effect of the highest visual impact.
Condition: Good vintage condition. The two-tone glaze is original and intact, with no chips or accidental runs. The electrical system has been tested and is fully functional on all 6 light points.
Structure: Original black metal back bar, already equipped with mounting holes for practical and secure wall fixing.
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Stilnovo / Diabolo / Pierre Guariche.
Will be shipped with secure and trackable packaging.
