About the Item

An exquisite pair of hand-turned wood lamps featuring a rich lapis blue bole surface accented with delicate gilded details. These lamps beautifully blend classic neoclassical design elements with a timeless yet modern aesthetic, embodying the elegance and craftsmanship of 1960s Italian Venetian decorative arts. Venice has a centuries-old tradition of masterful woodcarving, dating back to the Renaissance and Baroque periods when the city was a major cultural and artistic center. Venetian woodcarvers were renowned for their intricate, detailed work on furniture, frames, and architectural elements, often combining rich bole grounds—colored clays like lapis lazuli or cinnabar—with layers of gold leaf to achieve sumptuous finishes. This technique not only enhanced the visual depth of carvings but also protected the wood and prepared it for gilding. These lamps reflect this rich heritage of Venetian woodcarving, showcasing the artisanship and refined decorative techniques that have been passed down through generations. Their elegant form and luxurious finish make them ideal for interiors that appreciate both historical craftsmanship and mid-century modern sophistication.
