Versace, Gianni Versace - Table lamp - Metal - Medusa Head Medallions

A unique piece of fashion and design history. The same exclusive black-and-gold neoclassical table lamp stood in the sitting room of Casa Casuarina, the legendary townhouse of fashion icon Gianni Versace in Miami. In 2001, Sotheby's in New York auctioned off the villa’s entire contents. The same type of lamp was part of that historic sale.

Main features & design:

• Design & Aesthetics: Black-gold neoclassical metal lamp in a gilded and patinated style with a tapered rectangular base, featuring Medusa head medallions on all sides from which draperies hang, crowned by a cup-shaped finial and ending in a stepped, fluted square foot, with an anthracite fabric shade. It perfectly embodies the lavish, maximalist style for which Gianni Versace became world-famous.
• Condition: The base and the structural elements of the ambiance are in excellent vintage condition with minimal, age-appropriate signs of use. The lamp has been tested and functions fully. The shade is also in good condition,

Why this is a unique opportunity for collectors:

Original interior objects from the Gianni Versace era (pre-1997) are becoming increasingly rare and are a solid-value investment. This lamp is an absolute centerpiece and a showpiece in any luxury interior, a Hollywood Regency setting, or for the serious fashion and design collector.
