About the Item

Mid-century lighting design is world-famous for numerous reasons. The era’s designers managed to make strictly functional design look beautiful in addition to practicality and high-quality. This bass table lamp perfectly illustrates this. This elegant brass table lamp merges timeless craftsmanship with practical but nonetheless unique design, making it a versatile addition to any room craving a touch of style and warmth. The lamp is thoughtfully constructed from high-quality brass. Its luxurious, polished finish exudes a soft, golden hue that gently reflects the light, adding a cosy ambiance to the space it illuminates. Standing at a delightful height that makes it perfect for a variety of spaces, such as a bedside table, a desk, or a side table in the living room, this lamp features an adjustable, perforated shade, a key feature that sets it apart. The shade tilts to redirect and focus the light where it's needed, making it exceptionally suitable for reading, working, or creating an intimate atmosphere. The multitude of small perforations in the shade not only serves an aesthetic function, adding texture and visual interest, but also plays a key role in the diffusion of light; these tiny, star-shaped openings allow for a soft, dappled light to escape, creating a serene star-like pattern on the surrounding walls, further enhancing the lamp's charm. The base of the lamp maintains the minimalist style of the design, with a seemingly simple construction that is in fact quite elaborate. The tripod base allows customization to alter the lamp's height and the spread of its light, allowing for further customization of the lighting experience. It also assures stability, while its sculptural form also adds to the design’s unique quality. Its ample counterweight provides a firm grounding, yet its footprint is modest enough not to encroach upon valuable tabletop “real estate”. The absence of sharp edges or corners complements the lamp's overall geometry. Even the black twisted fabric covered wire is an attractive element, contrasting with the polished and patinated brass. Each component of this brass table lamp was designed with functionality and elegance in mind, culminating in a piece that transcends simple utility. It is a striking blend of form and function, a luminary that offers not just light, but also a touch of artisanal charm that can enhance the decor and warmth of any contemporary or traditional interior. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some scratches and marks on the body. There is a hairline crack on the stem. The brass has a beautiful patina.
