Pair of Gerald Thurston Fin Lamps for Lightolier
By Gerald Thurston, Lightolier
Located in Kilmarnock, VA
A rare and sculptural pair of table lamps by Gerard Thurston, each featuring a stoneware body composed of four parabolic, fin-like forms in alternating concave Navy and light turquoise glazes. The juxtaposition of color and form gives the lamps a dynamic rhythm—modern, architectural, and richly textured. The ceramic bodies rest on star-shaped brass bases with rounded ball feet, adding a metallic contrast to the soft curves and glaze of the stoneware. This elegant grounding element hints at Thurston's ability to blend organic form with precise, futuristic detailing. The original lacquered shades, measuring 16 inches in diameter, complete the composition with their crisp, modernist lines—preserving the integrity of the original design and making the pair an exceptional find for collectors and designers alike. Gerard Thurston was among the mid-century American designers who brought sculptural sensitivity to functional lighting, and his pieces were often featured in high-end interiors during the 1950s and 1960s. These lamps would have appealed to designers such as Edward Wormley or Tommi Parzinger, and today they fit effortlessly into interiors curated by Steven Volpe...
