About the Item

A vintage travertine whimsical elephant table lamp by Mannelli Bros., Florence, Italy (circa 1970s). A joyful, real travertine stylised elephant will delight art lovers and collectors and provide lighting at the same time! Minimalist in style with soft curves and lines, this sculptural lighting could even be displayed as a work of art or used functionally as designed. Very weighty and beautifully tactile with characterful marbling and natural cracking. The Designers' mark appears on the lamp holder. Currently rewired for UK use. The contemporary lampshade is included. About the Artists: The Mannelli brothers created wonderful pieces from Travertine, a form of limestone found in several places in Europe. In Italy it is located in the heart of the Province of Siena, in the quaint village of Rapolano Terme. Not all pieces are signed or marked. If you see these pieces marked with 'Raymor', this was the label of the American importer of the Brothers Mannelli's pieces. Fratelli Mannelli also designed for Marble Art, from Marta in the Province of Viterbo in the region of Latium, Italy. Dimensions of travertine elephant only, excluding bulb holder: H 17 cm / 6.7" W 24 cm / 9.4" D 8 cm / 3.1" Overall dimensions including lampshade: H 41 cm / 16.1" W 30 cm / 11.8" D 19 cm / 7.5".

Vintage Travertine Table Lamp (circa 1980s)
Located in London, GB
A beautifully sculptural vintage table lamp in solid travertine, likely dating from the 1980s. Discovered in the South of France, the lamp features a short, flat base topped by a rounded form that rises with quiet presence—compact yet weighty. Carved into the travertine body are three concentric circles that echo the overall silhouette, adding subtle geometric interest and reinforcing its architectural quality. The creamy, natural stone surface shows soft veining and tonal variation, typical of travertine and full of organic character. The original French plug and cord are still attached, suggesting its age and provenance. This can easily be updated with a new wire and plug or used with a simple adapter. A minimalist yet warm piece that works beautifully as an accent light on a shelf, console, or bedside table. In good overall condition. Lampshade for display only and not part of sale. Please enjoy the accompanying photos to this listing. Upon request a video will be provided. Dimensions: H (of travertine lamp base...
