Contemporary 'Trefoil' Floor Lamp with Bronze Details
About the Item
A floor lamp with a tri foot base featuring tapered fluting which resonates in the art deco movement. The hilt is realized in a series of subtly contrasting brass and bronze bands. This design is also inspired by the mid-century French Neoclassical movement, specifically in the manner of Giacometti and Quinet.
The non ferrous detailing has been lightly antiqued while the main steel body has been oxidized prior to a statuary bronze patination using our unique formula. The whole piece is then sealed with a satin clear finish and waxed. As with all handmade objects, slight variations in the finished surface are to be expected if not sought out.
In total, this piece weighs 12lbs and the height of the base measures out at slightly over 56" before the stem and harp are attached on top.
This lamp is sold without a shade as the designer believes this important detail should be dictated by its specific room placement. The lamp is furnished with an adjustable (10"-14") harp and a dimmable (0-150 Watts) socket to enable further customization.

McDevitt Metal
John McDevitt was born in the Cotswolds, England where he studied at several art colleges to graduate level. He later settled in Brooklyn, NY - opening a metal shop in DUMBO in 1992. His move to the United States also enabled further study of the craft, obtaining instruction by Frank Turley in New Mexico & courses at The Pratt Institute in New York. McDevitt’s long association with NYC based antique dealers Burden & Izett led to his work being acquired by some of the world's leading interior designers, as well as establishing an auction record at Christie's. It is with pleasure that he now brings a collection of his designs to the 1stDibs platform. Over 30 years John has also undertaken a diverse range of commercial work including the 40' wings for the dragon featured in the Broadway production of Wicked as well as projects for SNL. His work extends to framing for some of the leading stained glass conservators, working on Tiffany, John la Farge, & William Jay Bolton windows. McDevitt's architectural metalwork can also be found in numerous restaurants & bars around NYC as well as custom work within dozens of residences throughout the City. Despite over forty years of working with metal, John still finds delight in producing unique objects with an emphasis on function, proportion, & finish. Today he continues to do so whilst passing on his plethora of knowledge designing new pieces with his son, Jack, whose skills in 3D modeling & CAD have modernised the way they create.
