AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An absolutely exceptional work and without any known equal: this twisted lamp base in transparent solid crystal is a masterful creation by the prestigious Belgian crystal maker Val Saint Lambert. With an impressive height of 74 cm including the socket (68 cm for the crystal alone), this sculptural piece features a powerful, fluid and organic twist that seems to capture an eternal movement frozen in the glass. The sinuous line starts from a wide, undulating base (about 20 cm in diameter) and rises into a bold spiral, evoking a wave or a stylized flame—a design of rare audacity for the mid-century era (1950s–1960s).
The crystal, of extraordinary thickness and purity (8 kg in total), diffracts light with hypnotic intensity: reflections dance along the curves, producing effects that change with angle and lighting. This piece far surpasses the usual dimensions of Val Saint Lambert lamp feet and can legitimately be regarded as a special creation or a museum piece – an absolute rarity that has never been seen on the market at this scale.
Features :
- Height of the crystal itself: 68 cm
- Total height with socket: 74 cm
- Maximum base diameter: about 20 cm
- Weight: 8 kg (exceptional mass providing perfect stability)
- Original Val Saint Lambert label still present (visible in the photos), valuable testimony to its authenticity
- Unsigned model.
- Rewired recently for immediate and safe use (discreet black cable, standard E27 socket)
Excellent condition: crystal of perfect clarity, with no cracks, chips, or notable scratches. Only a few tiny micro-scratches on the base (inevitable on a piece of this scale and age) underscore its authentic character without detracting from its majesty.
This unique work will become the focal point of any refined interior – living room, library, entrance hall, or design space. It combines the sculptural power of a work of art with the functionality of an exceptional lighting fixture.
Shipping & Collection:
Given its imposing dimensions (74 cm high) and substantial weight (8 kg), local pickup is strongly preferred to avoid any risk during transport. Shipping is nevertheless possible (professionally tailored packaging, full insurance), but the costs and terms will need to be agreed directly with the buyer.
Additional photos can be provided upon request via the Catawiki chat.
The item will be prepared with the utmost care, regardless of the recovery method chosen.
