Oscar Torlasco brass chandelier of 25 inches with optical prism lenses, Italy, 1970s.

A magnificent and impressive modern Italian brass chandelier from the mid-20th century, dating from the 1970s, designed by Oscar Torlasco (1934-2004) for Stilkronen in Italy. The chandelier features ten arms and measures 25 inches in diameter. Made of brass, it offers ten light sources positioned behind clear crystal glass lenticular prisms shaped like eyes. The use of optical lenses was Torlasco's signature, giving the prisms a magnifying effect that creates a striking play of light. The inner lampshades behind the glass lenses are finished in gold, adding a warm and elegant tone to the light. The chandelier is in very good condition with marginal patina on the metal, and the glass is intact. It measures 63.5 cm in diameter, with an adjustable total height of 63.5 cm, and the body itself is approximately 40.6 cm in height.
