About the Item

Pair of Sculptural Lacquered Gourd-Form Table Lamps in the Style of Karl Springer, circa 1970s, Rewired Dimensions: 21" high to socket x 17" high to top of form x 7" diameter base A striking pair of vintage table lamps in the style of Karl Springer, combining sculptural form with rich surface texture and modernist refinement. Each lamp features a bulbous gourd-shaped body, hand-finished in layered polychromed lacquer with a distinctive crackled glaze effect in pale parchment tones and subtle green undertones. The surface evokes the aged beauty of parchment or lacquered shagreen—materials famously favored by Springer. The forms are elevated on thick Lucite disc bases, adding clarity and lightness to the organic silhouette, while brushed aluminum risers and vintage brass sockets complete the look with a refined industrial touch. These lamps reflect Springer's iconic blend of exotic materials, curvilinear lines, and modern glamour. Unmarked, but clearly influenced by Springer's studio aesthetic, they also share affinities with work by Marbro, Frederick Cooper, and Casella Lighting. Elegant and timeless, they serve as sculptural statement pieces ideal for layered, neutral interiors or as bold accents in modernist settings.
