Italian Metal + Glass Pendant, 1960s

$3,800.00

Defined by a form that feels suspended somewhere between lighting and sculpture, an Italian pendant from the 1950s–1960s.

The silhouette is broad and deliberate—a large saucer-shaped wire cage that stretches outward in a shallow curve, creating a sense of lightness despite its scale, and finished in contrasting black and warm brass-toned metal. The open metal framework traces a precise geometric rhythm, allowing the fixture to occupy space without overwhelming it.

At its center, a diffused glass reflector softens the light, casting an even glow beneath the structure while concealing the source itself. Suspended above a dining table, in an entry hall or within a living space, it creates a natural focal point.

DIMENSIONS: 20"W x 20"D x 10"H

ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS: Canopy: 5"W x 1.2"H; OAH: 21.5"; Drop: 10"

ORIGIN: Italy

PERIOD: 1960s

MATERIALS: Metal, Glass

CONDITION: In good vintage condition, with minor surface wear, and a natural patina to the metal frame present throughout. This pendant has been professionally rewired by our team of restorationists with a new canopy. Accepts one E12 candelabra base light bulb.
