AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage flower sculpture lamp in gold metal and olive wood – Italy, 1980s
Original vintage Italian sculptural lamp, made with a floral metal framework worked and gilded, mounted on an evocative base in natural olive wood.
The composition reproduces a large hanging flower, formed by numerous individually shaped metallic petals arranged in a bell-like shape, supported by a long sinuous stem accompanied by curved leaves. The entire structure features highly plastic and decorative lines, with a strong nod to the organic and naturalistic design typical of the 1960s and 1970s.
The base consists of a solid piece of olive wood, deliberately left irregular to enhance its knots, cavities, grain, and natural conformation. The contrast between the warm tone of the wood and the gilded metal makes the piece particularly tactile and scenic.
A decorative object of strong personality, ideal for eclectic environments, Hollywood Regency, Brutalist, boho or Mid-Century spaces, but also as a sculptural element in a contemporary interior.
Dimensions
Height: about 60 cm
Width: about 25 cm
Depth: about 14 cm
Weight: about 3 kg
Conditions
General good vintage condition.
The metal structure shows normal signs of aging, light abrasions, variations in gilding, and small traces of oxidation compatible with its age. The veneered base deliberately preserves the natural irregularities, fissures, knots, and cavities inherent to the material.
The patina is not cleaned or polished to preserve the signs of time and to allow the buyer the choice whether to keep it as is or intervene later.
The electrical system is vintage and, as with all period fixtures, a check by a qualified technician before continuous use is recommended.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and accurately show the condition of the item.
