Finishes and Styles: From Antique Brass to 24-Karat Gold

One of the most distinctive aspects of the Ghidini 1849 Picture Lights collection is the wide range of finishes. This variety reflects our desire to offer solutions that easily blend into any environment, from classic living rooms to contemporary art galleries.

Polished Brass

Polished brass is synonymous with timeless elegance. A light fixture with this finish reflects light brilliantly, adding a touch of luxury to classically inspired living rooms or professional offices. Polished brass is perfect for those who want to highlight the metal’s brightness and showcase meticulous artisanal craftsmanship.

Bronze Satin Brass

For those who prefer a warmer, softer atmosphere, bronze satin brass is the ideal choice. Its subtly “silky” surface exudes a discreet and sophisticated charm, making the fixture a harmonious match in rustic settings or interiors with natural design elements.

Antique Brass

Antique brass immediately evokes a vintage appeal and pairs beautifully with period paintings, prints, or frames that have a classic vibe. It’s the top choice for anyone looking to recreate a nostalgic ambience, where light becomes an integral part of a historical narrative. The aged effect makes each light unique, giving it a timeless allure.

24-Karat Gold Plating

The Picture Lights with 24-karat gold plating represent the height of exclusivity. This precious treatment not only ensures exceptional brilliance but also offers a highly refined appearance. Ideal for reception halls, prestigious galleries, or luxurious interiors, these gold-plated lights are true gems in lighting design.

Versatile Designs: Classic, Rustic, and Contemporary

Ghidini 1849 has always prioritized stylistic variety to satisfy the needs of a diverse clientele. This is why our Picture Lights collection encompasses designs that range from classic to modern, along with rustic-inspired pieces.

• Classic: Graceful lines, refined details, and polished or antique finishes that echo the grand Italian lighting tradition.
• Rustic: Simpler forms where the texture of bronze satin or antique brass adds warmth and comfort.
• Contemporary: Clean, minimalist silhouettes, ideal for modern or industrial spaces seeking an essential design with great functionality.

Different Sizes for Various Requirements

Not all paintings are the same, which is why Ghidini 1849 offers Picture Lights in various lengths: 20, 30, 40, and 60 cm. This selection ensures the perfect fit for every exhibition area, whether in residential spaces like living rooms and hallways, or public venues such as hotels, restaurants, and art galleries.

Smaller versions (20 and 30 cm) are ideal for more compact artworks or for highlighting particular details of a piece. Larger sizes (40 and 60 cm) provide extended light coverage, perfect for large canvases or mirrors of considerable dimensions.

Adjustable Functionality and Internal Reflector

Every Ghidini 1849 light fixture dedicated to artwork illumination is engineered for maximum flexibility. The adjustable arm allows you to direct the light beam with precise accuracy, preventing unwanted reflections on the glass or painted surface.

Additionally, the internal reflector, designed to optimize light distribution, delivers uniform illumination across the artwork’s entire surface. This feature is especially important for paintings or drawings with intricate details that need evenly balanced lighting for full appreciation.

The use of high-quality materials ensures lasting performance and an elegant appearance once installed. Over time, the finishes may gently age, reflecting the artisanal nature of genuine brass. For cleaning and upkeep, it is enough to dust the surface using a soft, dry cloth without chemical agents or abrasive products, as our lights are protected by a transparent coating that preserves the finishes.
