Pair Brass Tortoise Chapman Floor Lamps in the Style of Tommoso Barbi

About the Item

A rare and wonderful pair of Brass and Chrome Floor lamps. The star of the show is the polished brass tortoise / Turtle Shell Shade. The pair are definitely in the style of Tommaso Barbi, or Tony Duquette - the clean Architectural lines are indicative of both, with a unique chrome stand that, at the floor, curls to create the lamps base. Both have a floor switch that is easily used by the foot. The light cast from the back is a rich and ambient glow that accentuates the Tortoise Shell and its beautiful design. A compliment to many spaces - Definitely a conversation piece and focal point. Would be a statement to use flanking a door or entry way. Also perfect for many rooms and especially those with an African, Ralph Lauren theme or a stark and bold architectural statement in a clean modern home.
