Candeeiro de mesa (2) - Ónix - Brutalist-Italy

This listing is for a striking pair of vintage Brutalist table lamps carved from solid natural onyx stone, dating to approximately the 1960s.

Each lamp is sculpted from thick blocks of translucent honey-white onyx, featuring carved concentric circular reliefs on the front faces. When illuminated, the stone reveals its natural banding and mineral veining, producing a warm, ambient glow.

The lamps are mounted on contrasting darker stone bases, creating a strong architectural presence typical of Brutalist stone lighting from this period.

These are substantial pieces, both visually and physically — not lightweight decorative lamps, but solid stone objects with real material presence.

Style: Brutalist / Mid-century stone lighting
Approximate era: 1960s
Material: Natural onyx stone with contrasting stone bases
Origin: Europe (likely Italy)

A sculptural pair ideal for sideboards, shelves, bedside tables, or as accent lighting in a modern or vintage interior.

Condition:

Good vintage condition overall.
Natural variations, veining, and mineral inclusions are inherent to onyx and form part of the material’s character.
There is a visible line at the stone base (see photos), which appears consistent with a natural stone seam or settling line rather than active structural damage — the lamps remain solid and stable.
Minor age-appropriate surface wear to stone and bases consistent with vintage Brutalist lighting.
Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.

Electrical:

Both lamps are working and fitted with EU plugs and inline switches.
Vintage wiring present.

⸻

Styling suggestion:

Beautiful styled as a pair on a console, sideboard, or bedside tables.
Also strong as sculptural accent lamps in minimalist or architectural interiors, where the natural translucency of the onyx becomes a focal point when lit.
