Description from the seller

Signed golden sculptural table lamp – One-of-a-kind designer piece – Artistic metalwork – 20th century

Rare sculptural table lamp with a golden finish, made from worked metal through an artistic, non-industrial process.
The base features a strongly expressive composition, blending organic volumes, embossed textures and integrated metal elements, giving the piece a striking visual presence.

The metal is hand-shaped, assembled and textured, in a spirit close to Brutalist currents and the creations of designer-artists from the second half of the 20th century. Each face of the lamp offers a different reading, confirming that it is a work conceived as much a sculpture as a luminaire.

The lamp is signed directly on the base (signature visible in the photographs). The artist has not been identified to date, but the signature and the nature of the work indicate a creation by a designer or workshop, made as a unique piece and not from a mass production.

The conical lampshade, deliberately sober, highlights the sculpted base. When lit, the light reveals the warm reflections of the golden finish and enhances the depth of the textures.

A strong decorative object, ideal for a design collector, contemporary interior, Brutalist spaces or a gallery.
