About the Item
Elegant Italian flush mount ceiling light crafted in brass and opaline glass, distinguished by a sober yet strongly architectural formal language. The entirely brass structure defines a refined square geometric volume, articulated by a grid of metal profiles that subdivide the glass surfaces into trapezoidal and triangular panels, giving the piece a well-balanced and rigorously composed appearance. The use of polished brass as a visible structural element is characteristic of Italian production from the postwar period. The opaline milk glass panels, seamlessly integrated into the structure, provide a soft, even, and glare-free diffusion of light, making this fixture suitable for both residential interiors and representative spaces. The interior houses four light sockets, carefully positioned to ensure effective illumination while enhancing the warm reflections of the brass. The flat, non-curved opaline glass, set within a soldered metal framework, points to a high-quality artisanal production rather than industrial mass manufacture. Precise soldering, well-proportioned design, and the use of noble materials all testify to an elevated level of craftsmanship. The ceiling light can be reasonably attributed to a high-end artisanal workshop active in Milan, and is datable with good confidence to the period between 1955 and 1960. In terms of style and execution, although no specific designer can be firmly attributed, the piece shows clear affinities with lighting produced within the orbit of Stilnovo, Arredoluce, and Arteluce, as well as with Lombard artisanal manufacturers specializing in architectural lighting for refined domestic and professional interiors, such as entrance halls, foyers, and studies. This flush mount is particularly well-suited for formal entryways, where it can serve as a central architectural element, as well as for living rooms or dining areas with a modern or modernist character. It integrates naturally into mid-century interiors, while also pairing effectively with contemporary settings, where the contrast between clean lines and warm materials creates a sophisticated focal point. Especially suitable for rooms with medium or low ceilings due to its horizontal development, it harmonizes equally well with light or dark wood furnishings and with more minimalist interiors, where it stands out as a true statement piece. A restrained yet highly decorative object, in which functionality and aesthetic research coexist in perfect balance. Dimensions: Width 15.35 in (39 cm), Depth 15.35 in (39 cm), Height 3.94 in (10 cm)
