About the Item
This Mid-Century Modernist table lamp, crafted in France circa 1970, is a striking example of sculptural lighting design that combines bold geometric forms with luxurious materials. Sophisticated and daring in its aesthetic, this lamp captures the innovative spirit of the era while exuding timeless elegance.
The lamp features a rectilinear base, composed of black lacquer that lends it a sleek, glossy finish. The deep black surface creates a striking contrast with the rectilinear brass elements which rise from each of the back corners, supporting the shade and elegantly framing the pyrite specimen, while bringing a warm metallic glow to the design. Adding a dramatic and one-of-a-kind element, the lamp is adorned with a pyrite (fool’s gold) specimen, mounted prominently as the centerpiece. The natural crystalline structure of the pyrite introduces texture and raw organic beauty, juxtaposing the lamp's clean, angular frame with nature’s complexity.
The harmonious interplay of materials—black lacquer, polished brass, and pyrite—makes this piece a true work of art, ideal for use as a functional lighting accessory or as a sculptural focal point. Its refined yet bold design is perfect for interiors that embrace Mid-Century Modern, Brutalist, or Contemporary styles. Fitted with a custom gallery shade. Newly rewired to American Standards, this lamp accommodates two edison base bulbs achieving up to 200 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
