An exceptional and authentic ‘Stella a 12’ chandelier or ceiling light designed by Angelo Lelii for Arredoluce, Italy, circa 1958. This refined piece features twelve spherical glass shades with an acid-etched finish, elegantly suspended from a brass frame arranged in a dynamic radial composition. A certificate from the Arredoluce archive is included, and the original manufacturer’s label remains intact.
This ‘Stella a 12’ model consists of a central canopy from which twelve brass arms extend, each ending in an acid-etched and satin-finished glass globe. A striking and iconic design, it showcases clean architectural lines and emits a beautifully diffused glow, evoking the image of a radiant star or a flower in full bloom. Well-suited to spacious interiors, it can be placed above a grand dining table, in the entrance hall of an elegant residence, or even mounted on a wall, adding a distinctive and refined character to its surroundings.
In very good condition, the glass globes are flawless, while the brass frame is structurally sound, with only minor oxidation to the metal.
