European Modern Tripod Table Lamp with Opal Glass Shade, Europe 1960s

About the Item

This one-of-a-kind table lamp is a delightfully distinctive model, with an immediately recognizable look. Design in the mid-century years was fuelled by the development of materials and technology with stunning results as seen in this lamp’s design. It also possesses a futuristic impression that is proof of the era’s designers’ creative overflow. The design combines sculptural and delicate forms with classic materials and subtle decorative details. The glass shade has a crenate surface with a metal ring on the top. Its peculiar shape resembles a pressed sphere, therefore the pattern is beautifully highlighted. When lit, the opal glass shade produces an atmospheric light that further accentuates the individual lines. At its base, a floral shaped neck connects the glass shade to the metal tripod base. This subtle element shows the mid-century influence that favoured nature inspired embellishments and also marks an aesthetic change in the design as well. The tripod base features sleek, elongated and splayed legs that provide a great contrast to the opal glass. Its straight lines and gold colour adds to the modern edge. Thanks to the legs’ arrangement the lamp looks quite airy, balancing the shade. The long woven fabric cord is a pleasant touch that adds even more material interest and organicity to the overall impression. While the materials used - metal and opal glass - are characteristic of the era, the overall design has a futuristic impression that remains elegant instead of over the top. Adding illumination to a living space with this stylish table lamp will not only improve the ambience, it will also bring a piece of design history to the space. Apart from the aesthetics, the quality of this model is also true to its mid-century modern heritage. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some discolouration on the shade. Some marks and scratches on the metal. Dimensions: 11.41 in Ø x 18.5 in H 29 cm Ø x 47 cm H.
