The stem rises in slender, stacked segments, lifted lightly on a tripod base. The brass retains its original patinawarm, lived-in, and subtly luminouswhile above, a wide tapered shade diffuses a soft, ambient glow. Scarpa, born in Venice and trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts under De Loto and Carlo Lorenzetti, left for Paris in 1928, where he developed a practice that moved fluidly between sculpture and functional object. Celebrated for his work in stone, bronze, and graniteand awarded the 1974 Gold Medal by the Société des Artistes Françaishe also produced a rare, coveted body of furniture and lighting. This lamp is a testament to that legacy: a sculptors understanding of weight, tension, and proportion expressed through light. A scarce functional work by Scarpa, its stance is elegant and poisedwell suited for a living room, study, or reading corner. Condition: Great vintage condition with surface wear and patina consistent with age. Brass shows natural tonal variation throughout. Professionally rewired by our team of restorationists with a new socket, plug, and switch. Accepts one E12 base light bulb. Makers mark present along the underside. See less
