About the Item

Romeo Rega Lucite and brass table lamp, circa 1970s, Italian. This lamp has been thoroughly cleaned respecting the vintage patina. Newly rewired and earthed with new brass lamp holder, gold toned silk cable, new plug and new black cord switch. This table lamp is ready to use. This Modernist table lamp comes from a private home in Rome. It is attributed to Romeo Rega as it has many of the characteristics of his designs although not signed. Standing like a Skyscraper the base has design references to the earlier Art Deco period. The combination of materials, polished brass with the clear and black Lucite and the pagoda shade in the same colours create a strong sculptural piece. This smart lamp is a nice complement for a console table, side table, desk or a sideboard. It would suit a range of interiors such as Art Deco, Modernist, Minimalist, Hollywood Regency, 1970s glamour, traditional or contemporary. At the focal point there is a vertical rectangular black gloss Lucite section framed by polished brass and outer edges of clear Lucite. This stands on a stepped plinth base of Lucite, solid brass and black perspex. From the top of the sculptural base there is a decorative brass column leading the transition to the lamp holder. At this point screws on the lampshade, a black leatherette gold lined pagoda lampshade which is original. Running along the top and bottom of the shade there is gold cord trim. This lamp takes one standard big screw E27 light bulb up to 40 Watts which is included in this price. The lamp is in very good condition for its age. The base is in very good condition with no scratches. The brass surface retains the original lacquer and has only minor patina in a couple of places. The shade is in very good condition with superficial wear in line with age. This is one tiny cut on the shade which has been sympathetically restored. Packing is offered free of charge. The lampshade would be wrapped separately in bubble wrap and an outer layer of card. The base would be wrapped in bubble wrap and if necessary an outer layer of card. These parts could fit in a box for safe and easy posting. Additional dimensions: The base alone (with no shade) has the dimensions: Height 40 cm, width 18.5 cm, depth 10 cm. The lampshade alone has the dimensions: Height 25.5 cm, width 35 cm, depth 25 cm. Romeo Rega furniture history Romeo Rega furniture was manufactured in Italy between 1974-1981.
