Description from the seller
ommaso Barbi – ‘Rabarbaro’ Floor Lamp, Italy, 1970
Beautiful sculptural ‘Rabarbaro’ floor lamp designed by Tommaso Barbi and manufactured by Bottega Gadda, Italy, circa 1970.
This iconic floor lamp is crafted from solid brass and shaped as a large rhubarb leaf, which inspired its name. The hammered brass surface creates a rich texture and produces a warm, atmospheric indirect light when illuminated.
An authentic and original example from the 1970s, preserved in excellent original condition, with only minor patina consistent with age and use. Untouched and unpolished, retaining its original character.
Material: solid brass
Light source: E27 bulb (max. 100W, not included)
Condition: very good original condition, light age-related patina
Origin: Italy, 1970s
A striking sculptural statement piece and a true eye-catcher for any mid-century, Hollywood Regency or eclectic interior.
