Condition
A stylish and unusual piece of good overall appearance. The glass hangs from a waved metal pole, which is possibly later. This pole is attached to the ceiling by three cylindrical mounts and a further three ceiling mounts are lacking. Blemishing and tarnishing to the metal consistent with age. The glass 'hooks' themselves are of good overall appearance. Three or four pieces with a chip to the rear end of the hook, one or two with a chip to the front. These chips are not readily visible. A decorative piece, ready for display.

Catalogue Note
Around 1966 Mangiarotti designed a series of lights titled Giogali manufactured by Vistosi which feature the same interlocking glass hooks that can be seen on this lot.
