Italian Glass + Chrome Chandelier in the Manner of Fontana Arte, 1960s

$12,800.00

An Italian chandelier from the 1960s, in the manner of Fontana Arte, defined by its elongated, horizontal form and layered glass construction.

A frosted central band emits a soft, even glow, encircled by individually spaced panels of textured glass. Each piece carries slight variation—edges that catch, surfaces that shift—so the light feels alive rather than fixed. The repetition of these elements creates a quiet rhythm around the form, something measured and intentional.

It’s this balance that gives the piece its presence. The clarity of the chrome, the irregularity of the glass, the controlled diffusion of light—hallmarks of the Fontana Arte approach, where illumination is softened, shaped, and integrated into the architecture of a space.

Suspended from a chromed stem with a coordinating glass detail, the fixture sits low and wide—well suited above a dining table or in a space where a more vertical chandelier would feel out of place.
