Description from the seller
A stunning, heavy mid-century modern crystal table lamp designed by René Delvenne for the prestigious Belgian luxury crystal manufacturer Val Saint Lambert. This iconic piece features a masterfully executed "Sommerso" technique, where a rich, gradient cranberry-pink organic crystal core is seamlessly submerged inside a thick layer of brilliant, high-lead clear crystal. While the glass was molten, it was given a signature quarter-turn twist that creates captivating optical light refraction.This lot is highly collectible as it features a double marking: it retains its original gold foil factory label on the upper body and bears the authentic hand-etched script signature on the polished, scalloped base.
