This exquisite Moroccan-style ceiling fixture is a masterclass in Moorish craftsmanship, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The piece features intricate, hand-pierced brass filigree that forms geometric and starburst patterns, a hallmark of North African metalwork. When illuminated, these perforations act as a stencil, projecting a "starry" tapestry of light across the room. The inclusion of vibrant, multi-colored stained glass inserts—traditional reds, blues, and ambers—suggests an origin in a major artisanal hub like Marrakech or Fez. Structurally, the lamp exhibits a classic domed silhouette with a decorative finial and tassel. The brass shows a warm, authentic patina with expected minor surface oxidation and light wear to the metal edges consistent with age. All glass inserts appear intact, though some dust accumulation is visible within the recessed filigree. Measures 24" diam and drops 40" from ceiling. Please use photos to judge condition and bid accordingly. Please note: Buyer is responsible for removal. From the Hollywood Blvd. Cinemas Collection.
