Midcentury "Ball" Table Lamp in Chrome Documented by Karl Springer
About the Item
This stunning Mid-Century Modern chrome "Ball" table lamp was realized by the illustrious American designer Karl Springer, circa 1980. Two demi-spheres of polished chrome meet at an equatorial center line to create a perfect orb of lustrous chrome. The lamp comes fitted polished chrome finial and ball-pulls that reiterate the spherical form of the body in miniature. Refined, austere and full of verve, this piece embodies the qualities that discerning enthusiasts of late midcentury modernism (and Karl Springer specifically) adore. It is fitted with a custom linen shade and has been completely rewired. The table lamp accommodates two Edison based bulbs providing up to 200 watts of light. Excellent condition.
American, circa 1980.
Measures: 31" high,

- Documented Karl Springer Set of Three Midcentury Brass and Chrome CandlesticksBy Karl SpringerLocated in New York, NYThis stunning and dramatic set of candlesticks were realized by Karl Springer- one of the most influential and important designers of the 20th century- in America, circa 1985. It features a concave base and a convex top connected by a cylindrical body all in lustrous brass with a chrome banding at the base and pinnacle of the bodies. Two of the candles are the same length, while the third (meant to be positioned in the center) is taller. The candle affixes to the center of the top of each candle stick via a pointed conical pin in chrome. With its austere form and bold modernist lines- inspired by the verve and élan of first rate Art Deco design- these candlesticks are as versatile as they are gorgeous. They would be a winning addition to any style of interior from Classic Mid-Century Modern to contemporary. Excellent condition. The candlesticks are documented on page 17 of the Springer catalogue...Category
