Sascha Brastoff One of a Kind Gold Plated and Black Rooster Table Lamp Signed
Located in Palm Springs, CA
This Sasha Brastoff lamp is one of a kind and was made for a personal friend of Mr. Brastoff. It is highly collectible and desirable because it is a hand made sculpture of a rooster. A rooster was Mr. Brastoff’s logo. It has a history and great stories about his reasons for choosing a rooster as his favorite animal and made many variations of a rooster. This beauty is stunning as it is gold plated with black as he did before mixing those 2 colors combo in vases and even an iconic set of China that is in very high demand still today. Sculpture/base rooster height is 18.5”. Mr. Brastoff’s work is collected by many of the rich and famous around the world. The rooster is glued to the base. We were going to refinish the black base but did not want to damage the rooster trying to remove it. It looks fine as it. Most Sascha designed lamps and especially the ones made by him had WANUT real wood bases. Not sure as this was made for a friend if it was black originally. Orig wiring in working condition. It has a nice on/off switch on the cord. The black fabric shade is as we found the lamp. Lined in light gold fabric. Probably not the 1950s original. Looks good on the outside, it has some marks at the top of the inside of shade. Not visible outside. Exact replacements are still available.

Antique and Vintage Table Lamps for Sale: Find Art Deco Table Lamps, Murano Glass Table Lamps and Other Lighting on 1stDibs
Well-crafted antique and vintage table lamps do more than provide light; the right fixture-and-table combination can add a focal point or creative element to any interior.
Proper table lamps have long been used for lighting our most intimate spaces. Perfect for lighting your nightstand or reading nook, table lamps play an integral role in styling an inviting room. In the years before electricity, lamps used oil. Today, a rewired 19th-century vintage lamp can still provide a touch of elegance for a study.
After industrial milestones such as mass production took hold in the Victorian era, various design movements sought to bring craftsmanship and innovation back to this indispensable household item. Lighting designers affiliated with Art Deco, which originated in the glamorous roaring ’20s, sought to celebrate modern life by fusing modern metals with dark woods and dazzling colors in the fixtures of the era. The geometric shapes and gilded details of vintage Art Deco table lamps provide an air of luxury and sophistication that never goes out of style.
After launching in 1934, Anglepoise lamps soon became a favorite among modernist architects and designers, who interpreted the fixture as “a machine for lighting,” just as Le Corbusier had reimagined the house as “a machine for living in.” The popular task light owed to a collaboration between a vehicle-suspension engineer by the name of George Carwardine and a West Midlands springs manufacturer, Herbert Terry & Sons.
Some mid-century modern table lamps, particularly those created by the likes of Joe Colombo and the legendary lighting artisans at Fontana Arte, bear all the provocative hallmarks associated with Space Age design. Sculptural and versatile, the Louis Poulsen table lamps of that period were revolutionary for their time and still seem innovative today.
If you are looking for something more contemporary, industrial table lamps are demonstrative of a newly chic style that isn’t afraid to pay homage to the past. They look particularly at home in any rustic loft space amid exposed brick and steel beams.
Before you buy a desk lamp or table lamp for your living room, consider your lighting needs. The Snoopy lamp, designed in 1967, or any other “banker’s lamp” (shorthand for the Emeralite desk lamps patented by H.G. McFaddin and Company), provides light at a downward angle that is perfect for writing, while the Fontana table lamp and the beloved Grasshopper lamp by Greta Magnusson-Grossman each yield a soft and even glow. Some table lamps require lampshades to be bought separately.
Whether it’s a classic antique Tiffany table lamp, a Murano glass table lamp or even a bold avant-garde fixture custom-made by a contemporary design firm, the right table lamp can completely transform a room. Find the right one for you on 1stDibs.
