Description from the seller
Lamp from the 1970s/80s. Made of Murano glass. The lamp has an internal wooden base to which a round brass piece is applied; that is the part seen in the photo as the base. Then the lamp stem, with an amphora-shaped body, is made of white opaline glass, decorated with a hot-applied spiral of colored glass threads in a chromatic contrast, in this case brick red. This type of technique diffuses light softly and evenly. On top is a cap also in gold-colored brass from which the white plastic structure begins, containing the bulb that illuminates the upper part. The lampshade is pleated/accordion-style. The lamp has a double electrical circuit, so it can be used either by turning on only the bulb inside the glass body, or via the switch located under the lampshade, also using the bulb on the upper part.
Using both bulbs, as seen in some photos, the glass part diffuses an elegant atmosphere. Suitable lamp for placement on a side table beside the sofa, on a desk, in an office, or on a sideboard. It is fully functional.
Measurements: height 60 cm. Width 41 cm. Depth 41 cm. Height of the glass part 35 cm.
The lamp has been used and shows signs of time on the brass parts due to normal use, as visible in the photo.
Lamp with high collectible value, suitable for collectors of Murano glass artworks or for anyone wishing to own a unique piece of Italian glassmaking history to display in their office/home to add a touch of elegance.
It will be shipped with proper packing and tracked shipping.
