Other companies

Similar lamps were sold by other companies as you can see on the label on the left. Unfortunately a search on SILA sas gave no result. Arredalux is another Italian company that sold these lamps. Also Massive from Belgium sold similar lamps. The glass was made bij De Rupel, from Boom, Belgium.

An e-mail to AV Mazzega gave this as an answer: (translated from Italian to English) “I do not exclude they may be our lamps but I can not even give you the certainty. They are lamps that date back to many years ago where a management or photographic samples was not used.
I’m sorry I can not help you with other data but in our technical department I could not find anything that could bring back to these lamps.”
 

But, an American guy said to me, unfortunately without proof, that his chandelier is labelled and that it is an AV Mazzega label.

Over the years several lamps appeared with an AV Mazzega label, al with similar globes. Chandeliers, table lamps and so on.

Often said that these lamps are a Toni Zuccheri design, they are not. Zuccheri never worked for AV Mazzega, as the company confirmed.
