1940s Italian Curved Glass Pendant in the Manner of Fontana Arte

About the Item

1940s Italian chandelier in the style of Fontana Arte. Tripod form candelabra pendant fixture with ivory enameled armature suspended from a slim stem including the original conical ceiling canopy. Three satin glass candle form tubular shades fit over the candelabra bulb. A dome of concave/convex clear glass with a beveled outer edge and round cut out center appears to float as an umbrella above the candle lights. The structure is solid brass which has developed a gorgeously even bronze color patina. If requested we can polish the brass. We can also adjust the drop.
