Stilnovo Brass and Opaline Glass Chandelier, 1960s
Description
Stilnovo brass and opaline glass chandelier, brass and glass, Italy, 1960s
An iconic example of Italian modern lighting from the 1960s, this chandelier by Stilnovo captures the elegance and confidence of the Milanese design scene at its height. A central brass sphere supports a constellation of curved arms, each terminating in opaline glass diffusers paired with softly domed reflectors, creating a composition that is both dynamic and perfectly balanced.
The brass structure, enriched by a natural patina, adds warmth and depth, while the opaline globes emit a soft, enveloping glow. The interplay between metal and glass defines its character, turning the fixture into a sculptural presence suspended in space.
Founded in 1946, Stilnovo became a reference point in Italian lighting, collaborating with designers such as Gaetano Sciolari and Bruno Gatta and shaping a distinctly modern language built on proportion and innovation.
The ceiling light is authentic of the period with verified provenance and age. The brass elements may show slight signs of patina consistent with their age and considered a hallmark of authenticity. All components including screws and secondary details have been carefully verified.
