Description from the seller

Rare Art Deco brass and Amber Glass lamp – 1930s/1940s

We offer a splendid vintage lamp crafted in brass with inlaid wood panels, an authentic testimony of Italian Art Déco taste.

Objects like this were made when furniture was designed to endure over time: the brass, expertly worked, and the amber-colored glass give the lamp timeless elegance and a striking stage presence.

The signature "CM", hand-painted on one of the panels, suggests artisanal or workshop production, making the piece even more interesting for collectors and enthusiasts.

It is a lamp that tells the story of an era when every detail mattered. Today it represents a sought-after decor item, perfect for professional studios, historic homes, boutiques, charming hotels, or antique collections.

Characteristics
Era: circa 1930–1940
Style: Art Déco
Materials: brass and inlaid geometric wood
Original initials: "CM"
Conditions: good, with natural patina of time that attests to its authenticity.

An authentic piece, hard to find, that combines the elegance of brass with the refinement of decorated glass. Not just a lamp, but an object capable of enriching any space with the charm of Art Déco.

ATTENTION: "Shipping costs are valid only for mainland destinations. For islands and overseas territories (e.g., Malta, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Cyprus), additional shipping charges apply according to Catawiki’s policy."
