This lamp is a classic neoclassical or empire style model from the mid-20th century, characterized by combining brass or gilt-bronze fittings with hanging crystal prisms and a carved or frosted glass bowl at the base.
This type of piece became widely popular in Europe between the 1950s and 1970s, drawing inspiration from traditional palace and bourgeois lighting designs.

The carved and acid-etched crystal is what gives it that matte or textured translucent finish so characteristic of the lower bowl, creating a spectacular contrast with the shine of the faceted pieces.
The so-called Murano Italian balls (especially the prisms or solid faceted spheres hanging on the sides and at the base) confirm the very high quality of the piece. Murano manufactories supplied these glass and lead crystal components to artisans across Europe for the creation of luxury luminaires during the mid-20th century.
With these precise specifications, the historical and aesthetic value of the lamp is markedly elevated within vintage collecting.

The estimated market value for a mid-20th-century neoclassical ceiling lamp with the features you describe (carved and acid-etched crystal, brass/brass fittings, and authentic Murano Italian spheres) generally ranges between €250 and €650.
