About the Item

This floor lamp made entirely of glazed ceramic was probably produced in a one-off by the San Polo Venezia company in the early 1950s. It was personally designed by Otello Rosa and San Polo confirmed. It consists of 4 interlocking cylinders superimposed a curved plate at the base and various brass clips and discs to tighten it all securely. Despite the delicacy of the object, it has been preserved for more than 70 years. Electric cable to be restored is missing. Unique object with strong visual impact. A 'work of art rather than a lamp.
