Table lamp - Large Hollywood Regency Table Lamp in the Style of Philippe Barbier – Crocodile Pattern Shade – - Chrome, Wood

An imposing and exceptionally stylish mid-century modern table lamp, heavily inspired by the geometric, sculptural language of French designer Philippe Barbier. Dating from the 1970s, this lamp seamlessly fuses Space Age forms with Hollywood Regency luxury.
The structural base features a prominent brown leatherette/wood-wrapped lower column supporting two stacked, large matte-black spheres, separated and bookended by gleaming chrome tiers. It comes complete with its stunning, original flared drum lampshade featuring a heavily embossed dark brown crocodile/alligator skin pattern and a contrasting warm gold reflective interior lining that radiates a beautiful, dramatic glow when lit.
The underside of the chrome base retains a vintage gallery/inventory label marked "ARPAGON." A true statement piece for any collector of high-end vintage lighting.
Condition:
In good, authentic vintage condition with a gorgeous patina that tells its story:
• Base & Body: The chrome components display minor micro-pitting and light surface oxidation specks characteristic of vintage metalwork. The matte black spheres show light superficial surface scuffs/scratches from handling over the decades.
• Wiring: Equipped with original wiring, a white inline switch, and a European 2-pin plug. Note: The plastic casing of the plug shows cosmetic staining/discoloration on one side (fully documented in the detail photos), but remains structurally functional.
