View AllPair of Woven Pottery Lamps Attributed to Samuel Marx
By Samuel Marx
Located in Kilmarnock, VA
Fresh from a distinguished Chicago estate, this exceptional pair of woven pottery lamps is attributed to the visionary American architect and interior designer Samuel Marx, dating to circa 1950. The bases showcase amazing craftsmanship, skillfully crafted to mimic the texture and appearance of woven wicker baskets—a testament to the innovative artistry and material experimentation characteristic of mid-century design.
Samuel Marx was a seminal figure in American design, renowned for his pioneering synthesis of modernist principles with historical and cultural influences. His work was groundbreaking for its sophisticated use of texture, form, and materials, which helped define a uniquely American modernism. Marx’s interiors and objects were both elegant and forward-thinking, influencing generations of designers who followed.
