This pair of bronze table lamps epitomizes the graceful sculptural style of Diego Giacometti, showcasing his adeptness with proportion and form. Cast in bronze with a rich brown patina, the lamps feature Giacometti's iconic female head design emerging just below the socket and lampshade, blurring the line between functional object and figurative sculpture. The modeling is delicate yet substantial, with slender necks supporting the elongated heads while the patina enhances the fluid, sculptural bronze.
Though utilitarian in purpose, the lyrical artistry elevates the lamps to works of art. This set embodies the exceptional craftsmanship and elegant functionality that distinguish creations by the talented Giacometti brothers and their command of the Expressionist style.
With origins from the famed Nelson Rockefeller Collection, this edition was cast in the 70s by Excalibur Bronze, USA, as indicated by the impressed manufacturer's stamps. In 1977, Nelson Rockefeller established the Nelson Rockefeller Collection Inc. to reproduce small editions of original works by Diego and Alberto Giacometti in bronze. After over four decades, these high quality bronze reproductions from the Rockefeller collection remain highly desirable.
These table lamps are presented without electrical cord, allowing the purchaser the freedom to customize the lamps' installation according to their lighting needs and interior design aesthetic.

Tete de Femme Floor Lamp After Alberto Giacometti--Rockefeller Collection
By Alberto Giacometti
Located in Minneapolis, MN
Here is a very special gilt bronze floor lamp after Alberto Giacometti (Swiss, 1901-1966). In 1977, Nelson A. Rockefeller founded Nelson Rockefeller Collection, Inc. and had his collection of original works by Diego and Alberto Giacometti cast in bronze and reproduced in small editions by Excalibur Bronze. This example is impressed with the date 1985.
The lamp measures 72.75" to the top of the shade. The diameter of the shade, which is the widest part of the lamp, is 18". The bronze foot of the lamp measures approximately 9" in diameter.
The lamp itself is in very good condition with only light wear consistent with age and use. The shade appears to be original and needs to be replaced. It is slightly out of round and has a puncture and dents. However, the shade is included if desired by the buyer and could be recovered. Or, we can provide the shade dimensions if a new shade is preferred.
