This striking Art Deco fixture combines softly luminous white glass, a distinctive pale green glass canopy, and warm brass details in a sculptural, unmistakably Italian composition.

The elongated white glass shade tapers gracefully toward a brass lower finial and is framed by three slender brass support rods. Above, a broad disc-form green glass canopy creates a dramatic horizontal plane, giving the fixture its memorable silhouette. The layered glass, brass hardware, and clean geometric lines reflect the refined balance of function and artistry associated with early Italian modern lighting.

When illuminated, the white glass diffuser produces a soft, atmospheric glow, while the green glass canopy adds a subtle wash of color and a beautiful contrast to the aged brass. Compact enough for intimate spaces but sculptural enough to stand alone, this pendant is ideal for an entry, breakfast nook, hallway, bedside installation, powder room, reading corner, or grouped over a kitchen island or dining table.
