Unique ceiling light designed by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte. It features a matt milk glass shade with a stunning inner blown shade, resembling a planet in its appearance, a really unique and atmospheric sight. The ceiling cap is crafted from sturdy solid brass and has a conical shape. The three black painted stems that support the shade have some paint loss over time, but they can be refinished upon request to restore their original look. This particular version is documented in the 1967 Fontana Arte catalogue (no.7). Aside from the minor paint loss on the stems, this lamp is in excellent original condition, with the glass shade remaining undamaged. It’s a rare and eye-catching piece that can add a touch of elegance and intrigue to any space.

 

Literature; Fontana Arte 7th catalogue 1967, page 14.

 

This lamp is checked in our own atelier, cleaned and is suitable for use in the USA.
