Description from the seller
A striking, quirky sculpture, paperweight and decorative object from the late mid-century, this piece is designed by Pierre Giraudon, an artist and designer known for hanging lucite objects in his creations. For this iconic piece of pop art, a light bulb filled with a phosphorescent substance (which glows in the dark) is suspended in a cube of lucite. By day it is a nice conversation starter, but it comes to life in the evening! In very good vintage condition, with wear consistent with age and use. Height 10.8 cm (4.25 inches) width 7.62 cm (3 inches) depth 7.62 cm (3 inches) condition notes: wear consistent with age and use. Design: Pierre Giraudon. Materials and techniques: glass, lucite. Period: mid-20th century. Date of manufacture: circa 1970. A few used scratches, but in good vintage condition! See photos. Shipping costs: buyer.
