Each frond is hand-blown in textured Murano glass with beautiful pink highlights and mounted on a gilt brass frame, pairing the sculptural quality typical of Murano lighting from the period with the warmth of gold-toned metal.

The fixture is in excellent condition and in full working order, with all six E14 sockets functioning correctly for screw-base bulbs up to 60 watts each.

Its 62 cm diameter and compact 22 cm height suit a dining room, entrance hall, or living room with generous ceiling height, where the palm-leaf form reads as a sculptural centerpiece rather than a purely functional fixture. Ceiling lights of this type belong to the broader tradition of figurative Murano glass lighting from the 1960s, sought after by collectors of Italian mid-century design for their handcrafted glasswork and sculptural presence.
