Attributed Pietro Chiesa Brass & Harlequin Pattern Cut
Title: Attributed Pietro Chiesa Brass & Harlequin Pattern Cut Glass Chandelier
Description: Offered is a Mid-Century Modern Italian Pietro Chiesa for Fontana Arte brass and harlequin pattern cut glass chandelier. This elegant chandelier is attributed to designer Pietro Chiesa. The photo of this piece speaks for itself. One of a kind brilliance of harlequin patterned cut crystal and brass with a nod to a nautical theme! Chiesa was a descendant of the storied Ticino-based family of artists, opening his own glass making shop in 1921 after working as an apprentice at the Giannotti Glassworks. In 1932, Gio Ponti requested that Chiesa share with him in the artistic direction of the newborn Fontana Arte. This role enabled Chiesa to give full expression to his creative ability by designing over a thousand different objects including furniture, tables, lamps, glass windows and objects of art.
