Art Deco ceiling lamp; first third of the twentieth century. Glass, opaline, gilt brass and fabric cords. In working order. Measurements: 99 x 41 cm. Lamp made of glass, opaline and golden brass. The piece is inspired by natural forms, such as the sinuous curves of plants and flowers. Its design is characterized by a sense of dynamism and movement, often given by the use of curved lines, as seen in the structure from which the lights hang. The piece retains a great symmetry that is especially evident in the glass shades that recreate the corolla of a flower, while the larger central one also has an ogival shape.
