A rare and elegant table lamp manufactured by gino sarafatti 1950's for arteluce on black marble base, italy 1950's. Combining innovative materials with refined engineering, the lamp is a fine example of post-war italian lighting design.
the shade is crafted from black lacquered metal and fitted with a acrylic glass reflector secured by three delicate pins. At the time, acrylic glass represented a modern and innovative material, embraced by designers for its versatility and futuristic appeal. The lamp is raised on a substantial circular base of black marble, whose weight and polished finish provide a striking contrast to the lightness of the shade.
a particularly sophisticated feature is the adjustable stem, connected to the shade by brass ball joints on both sides. This ingenious construction allows the shade to rotate and pivot freely, enabling precise direction of light while enhancing the lamp's sculptural character.
the lamp remains in very good original condition, retaining the quality and elegance that have made italian lighting from this period so highly sought after.
