Arteluce 17 Arm Chandelier
-
Description
An exceptionally rare and striking 17 arm chandelier, embodying the quintessential elegance and innovative design of Arteluce during the Italian Mid-Century Modern period. This impressive fixture, often referred to as a "Starburst" or "Sputnik" style, radiates outward with a captivating symmetry and sophisticated presence.
The chandelier features a central brass body, from which numerous radiating arms extend. Each arm culminates in an elegant cylindrical diffuser crafted from luminous opaline glass, casting a warm, diffused glow. The brass elements exhibit a beautiful, rich patination consistent with age, enhancing its authentic vintage appeal. The meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful arrangement of the light sources speak to the high standards for which Arteluce , under the visionary leadership of Angelo Lelii, was renowned.
This piece is not merely a lighting fixture but a sculptural statement, capable of transforming any space into a testament of refined mid-century design. It is a highly sought-after collector's item, representing a significant period in Italian design history. -
