Decorative lamp dating from the 1990s (estimated period 1990–2000), with stained glass panels mounted in metal, in the shape of a modernist automobile, origin Spain, in good used condition with minor signs of age, in working order; dimensions 30 cm wide, 16 cm deep, 14 cm high.
Description from the seller
Curious decorative lamp from the late 20th century conceived in the shape of a car inspired by modernism, a piece that combines craftsmanship, design, and a marked scenic character. Its structure reproduces the lines of an era car with a free and stylized interpretation, evoking the early vehicles of the early 1900s through sinuous profiles, soft volumes, and an aesthetic close to the Art Nouveau universe.
The body is made using colored glass panels assembled with metal profiles, following techniques inspired by traditional decorative stained glass. The red, amber, honey, and brown tones create an attractive chromatic play that comes to life when illuminated, projecting a warm and welcoming light. The design stands out for the curvature of the cockpit, the wavy fenders, and the small details that recreate the front grille, the headlights, and the unmistakable silhouette of a classic car.
The base and wheels, crafted in molded material and finished in dark tones, provide visual stability and reinforce the sculptural feel of the piece. Beyond its lighting function, the item has a strong decorative presence, sitting halfway between a desk lamp and a collectible object.
Original and unconventional, this lamp is ideal for eclectic environments, spaces dedicated to motorsports, offices, libraries, or interiors where pieces with personality are valued. Its combination of historical references, artisanal technique, and imaginative design makes it an appealing example of late 20th-century decorative design.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
