Description

1950s Bruno Chiarini double pendant suspension lamp for Stilnovo. A quintessentially 1950s Italian design executed in two cascading matte finish opaline glass pendants with sculptural brass hardware and the original architectural ceiling canopy modified for mounting over a standard American J-box.

Their designs have been long sought after by collectors in the know. Not UL listed, but recommended UL listing available from authorized 3rd party vendor upon request for an additional fee.
