Pietro Chiesa.
|
Scarce 27" semi glass flush-mount with deep incisions, original Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte, Milano circa 1935 (design) execution probably 1935-1945.
|
We have a later interpretation of this flush mount from Max Ingrand available also.
|
Early vintage original flush mount light by Pietro Chiesa. Iconic 27" fixture with deep sandblasted floral incisions.
|
It's a very delicate piece with outstanding glass work. The metal funnel has its preserved original lacquer.
|
Five large e26/27 bulbs are illuminating a large 27" lucite disc-diffuser first, so the bulbs are not visible from underneath the light.
|
It's in very good condition considering the age. The glass shows no cracks, some very minor chips around the rim.
|
The original lacquered aluminum parts we left untouched. The brass shows an even and golden patina.
|
Provenance: the lamp derives from a collection in Torino
|
Dimensions are 27.55“ (diameter) x 12“ (height )

Literature: Franco Deboni, Fontana Arte, pictures 28, 29.
