Description from the seller
Table lamp "Ministeriale" in Brass - Italy, 1930s/40s
This vintage brass table lamp is an example of mid-century Italian design. Many similar pieces, characterized by the curved arm and the orientable dome lampshade.
Splendid example of Italian Mid-Century Modern lighting. This desk lamp, defined as "ministeriale" for its authoritative style, is an iconic piece attributed to the renowned architect Giovanni Michelucci for the Lariolux manufacture (Como).
Made of solid brass, the lamp features an organic design with a sinuous arm supporting a wide orientable dome lampshade. The base, with a clean geometric profile, houses the characteristic red bakelite push switch, a distinctive element of the original production of the period.
The piece is presented in excellent vintage condition. The brass retains a beautiful natural patina that attests to its authenticity. There are light signs of aging consistent with its age (small superficial scratches and natural oxidation), which add charm and character to the piece. No significant structural dents."
