Description from the seller
Extraordinary and rare three-element wall lamp on a three-branch track (six lights in total), dating from the mid-20th century (Mid-Century Modern / Space Age). Unlike the vast majority of models from the era made of sheet metal, this exceptional piece features three hourglass-shaped diffusers ("Diabolo") made entirely in handmade glazed ceramic.
The splendid two-tone finish, characterized by a glossy vivid red glaze interspersed with subtly textured white areas, is a refined original artisanal workmanship (traceable to the great Italian ceramic schools of the period, such as Nove di Bassano or Faenza).
The system is dual emission (Up & Down): each cone houses two bulbs (one facing upward and one downward), creating a highly theatrical lighting effect with a strong visual impact.
Conditions: Good vintage condition. The two-tone glaze is original and intact, free of chips or incidental crazing. The electrical system has been tested and is fully functional on all six light points.
Structure: Original black metal back bar, already equipped with holes for practical and secure wall mounting.
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Stilnovo / Diabolo / Pierre Guariche.
Will be shipped with safe and trackable packaging.
