A first-edition ‘Sappho’ table lamp, designed by Mangiarotti in the 1960s.
The Sappho has become one of his most notable designs, displaying his sculptural skill.
It consists of a chromed steel base and a mushroom shaped lampshade, made from mouth-blown Murano glass.
The lampshade is cleverly crafted in two hues, going from an opaque white to a more transparent shade. This transition makes it possible to hide the light source while creating a beautiful effect when lit.
An inner black glass element can be seen coming through the smoky pattern. The light is reflected upon its black surface, adding to the Sappho’s interesting design.
The table lamp remains in good condition, with some slight traces of use. Underneath the base, signs of a first edition can be seen. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution,
European Plug (up to 250V).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
