Vintage metal and brass table lamp by Tommaso Barbi, Italy 1970s

Table lamp by Tommaso BarbiThis beautiful lamp designed by Tommaso Barbi in Italy will not leave anyone indifferent. Here the love affair is not at first sight and that is a good sign. This is often what happens with timeless objects. Indeed, you will not get tired of this lamp. Finely studied lines, a metal shade that just sits on its support and perfectly matching colors. The burgundy, creamy white and gold color of the brass blend perfectly. Very well made, it is composed of metal, bakelite and brass. It has been revised and works perfectly. Tommaso Barbi was a very active designer in the 60s and 70s and is very well known for his leaf lamp. Very close to the Hollywood Regency style he used a lot of brass but also Murano glass or marble in his creations. We will note some small snags on the lampshade or a slight oxidation of the brass. Small defects that go unnoticed once the lamp in situation. Cf PhotosDimensions:Height 57cmDiameter shade 29cmDiameter base 17cm Reference : 254292
