About the Item

A striking and versatile pair of floor lamps by Romeo Rega, crafted in chromed steel and polished brass, exemplifying the refined boldness of 1970s Italian glamour. Featuring a three-way lighting system, the lamps offer torchère-style ambient light, reading light, or both—blending sculptural impact with everyday functionality. Romeo Rega was at the forefront of a movement that merged clean modernist lines with gleaming materials and geometric flair. His designs often blurred the line between furniture and art, and these lamps reflect that sensibility—graphic, glamorous, and unapologetically decorative. These would have appealed to top interior designers of the era such as Ward Bennett, William Haines, Tony Duquette, Michael Taylor, and Billy Baldwin—tastemakers who weren’t afraid to introduce statement lighting into otherwise restrained or classically tailored rooms. Their mix of shine, geometry, and scale would have made them ideal for Park Avenue apartments, Palm Springs villas, or Hollywood Regency interiors, where form and finish were as important as function. Originally sold through high-end design showrooms and decorators catering to a cosmopolitan clientele, they would have been considered both fashion-forward and refined—perfectly straddling the line between mid-century modern and the emerging postmodern aesthetic. The original shades are present and structurally sound, though they show age and could benefit from updating depending on your interior. All sockets have been professionally rewired for modern use. A superb and increasingly rare example of Romeo Rega’s sculptural lighting—ideal for collectors and designers looking for vintage luxury with architectural precision.

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...
