The chandelier in the photo is a fine example of Pietro Chiesa's design for Fontana Arte in the 1940s, a work that embodies the author's distinctive and classic aesthetic. The structure consists of eight lozenges of curved glass, with an elegant alternation of panels: four are decorated with floral patterns made by etching, while the remaining four are left plain, creating a play of light and transparency that emphasizes the complexity of the form. The decorations on the etched glass show an interweaving of leaves and flowers, an ornamental motif reminiscent of traditional craftsmanship but at the same time easily traceable to Pietro Chiesa's unmistakable style. This engraving technique adds depth to the design, making it precious and giving it a timeless appeal. Each pane of glass is numbered with a small engraving made by grinding wheel, a detail that testifies to the care for precision and craftsmanship with which this piece was produced. It is a rare chandelier that is particularly sought after by collectors precisely because all elements are original and coeval, keeping the historical and artistic integrity of the design intact.
