Important Angelo Lelii ceiling lamp for Arredoluce, Italy, ca. 1953. Rare model with an intriguing design carrying multiple spheres, composed of warm colored brass and off-white lacquered aluminum shades with curved duplex white opal satin glass diffusers. "The devil is in the details" is truly what can be said about this lamp- it are the beautiful and refined details that make the difference and prevail in showcasing its premium quality: the brass ball-shaped diffuser clamps, the elegantly shaped ball joints, curved connection rings, and the trapezoidal center cup. A wonderful and elegant blend of classic brass details and futuristic ball-shaped shades. The lamp can be used both on the ceiling and on the wall due to its highly decorative design. The eight lamp shades can be arranged thanks to the ball-joint fixture, with each shade hiding two E-14 light sockets that provide a powerful yet refined diffuse light and playful light scattering on the ceiling or wall. Angelo Lelii was a great visionary designer and founder of Arredoluce in 1947, which became one of the most important Italian post-war lamp manufacturers known for their premium quality.
