This rare vintage chandelier from Italy features a striking mid-century modern design, likely from the 1960s or 1970s. It showcases six cylindrical white glass shades arranged in a sculptural, vertical orientation around a central rod. The shades are mounted using chrome brackets that add a sleek, industrial contrast to the soft opaline glass. The central stem is composed of a metal tube with visible wear and patina, adding to its vintage character. The fixture hangs from the ceiling by a long rod, culminating in a round canopy, typical of European design from the era.
Carlo Nason was born in 1935 on the island of Murano, Italy, renowned for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition. Growing up in a family deeply entrenched in this craft—his father, Vincenzo Nason, was a master glassmaker—Carlo was immersed in the art of glass from a young age. This heritage profoundly influenced his career, leading him to collaborate with prominent design firms like Mazzega (later known as Vistosi), where he blended traditional techniques with modernist aesthetics.
