AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This superb square wall/ceiling lamp, dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1960–1970), is a piece of elite design set in the Hollywood Regency style.
The magnificent crystals, individually fixed, these geometric elements create a dazzling diffusing effect that projects light in a three-dimensional and luxurious way.
Due to its exceptional manufacturing technique, the lamp shows strong affinities with the avant-garde line of the Austrian designer Emile Stejnar (for Bakalowits & Söhne) and with the luxurious productions of the prestigious German workshop Palwa (Palme & Walter); this specimen boasts high rarity and a very high market value, positioning itself as a highly prestigious lot for collectors and high-end antique auctions.
Note some signs of time on the "veneer"; when displayed they are not visible. Please see the photos
