History and Context
The 1980s were a time of transition in interior design and decor. Globally, there was a search for innovation using traditional materials. Rattan and wicker became trend elements due to their combination of lightness and strength, as well as their natural appearance that fit perfectly into the bohemian aesthetic of the era. These materials have a long tradition in the manufacture of furniture and decorative objects, with wicker being a natural fiber derived from the willow, which has been used for centuries in this type of piece.
The fact that this lamp comes from that era defines its style. We can assume that it was created at a time when materials like rattan and wicker were on the rise, especially in design and interior decoration departments seeking pieces that provided a connection with nature.
Lamps like this were common in rural homes and also in urban environments seeking to evoke simplicity and a return to handcrafted objects. It is a clear example of a piece that combines functionality and design, very typical of the last third of the 20th century.
Material and Technique
Rattan is known for being a durable and flexible material, making it an excellent choice for wicker lamps like the one offered at auction. This type of lamp usually does not have a complex mechanism; its simplicity lies in the handcrafted weaving, which requires time and dedication. The artisans who made these pieces already possessed skillful handling of rattan, capable of creating complex shapes, such as the stylized base and the conical shade of the lamp.
The dark brown natural tone of the lamp remains a timeless trend, highlighting the properties of the material itself and the skill of handcrafted work. The braiding technique allows for a play of shadows that, when the lamp is on, creates an attractive visual effect and a warm atmosphere in any room.
Conservation Status
It can be observed that the lamp is in good overall condition.
Rattan weave: No evident tears, fraying, or deformations are seen in the braided structure, suggesting it has been well maintained over time.
Coloration: The brown color appears uniform, indicating that it has not been exposed to excessive sunlight, which would normally cause discoloration in a natural material like wicker.
General appearance
Since the piece is in good visual condition, we can consider it to be in medium-high conservation conditions.
It will be carefully packaged and shipped via guaranteed and fully insured carrier.
