Vintage lamp by Tommaso Barbi, 1970

Table lamp by Tommaso Barbi This 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. Burgundy, creamy white and the gold color of the brass are a perfect match. 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 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 flaws that go unnoticed once the lamp in situation. Cf Photos Dimensions: Height 57cm Shade diameter 29cm Base diameter 17cm
