About the Item
This exceptional 1950s chandelier is a vibrant and highly sculptural lighting piece in the style of Stilnovo, reflecting the bold creativity and technical elegance that defined Italian postwar design. Composed of painted metal shades arranged around gracefully curved brass arms, the chandelier presents a lively, balanced composition that feels both playful and architecturally resolved. The flared silhouettes and rhythmic spacing of the arms are strongly evocative of the Italian mid-century lighting movement, where colour, form, and innovation were treated as equal partners.
All shades retain their original hand-applied paintwork, executed in a striking palette of red, yellow, blue, and soft green. The surface shows gentle wear, small chips, and patina consistent with age, reinforcing the authenticity of the piece and enhancing its visual depth. These signs of use are entirely in keeping with original 1950s production and should be appreciated as part of the chandelier’s history rather than imperfections. The brass structure has aged beautifully, developing a warm, mellow tone that anchors the vivid colours and highlights the elegant curvature of the arms.
The chandelier is fitted with eight E14 bulb holders, offering generous and evenly distributed illumination while maintaining a light, open presence. It has been professionally rewired, ensuring safe and reliable use in modern interiors without compromising the integrity of the original design. When lit, the piece comes alive, casting a warm, atmospheric glow that accentuates both colour and form.
Confident, joyful, and unmistakably mid-century, this chandelier is ideal as a statement piece above a dining table, in a stairwell, or within a curated modernist interior. It stands as a strong example of 1950s Italian lighting design language, closely aligned with the aesthetic principles made iconic by Stilnovo.
