This striking vintage floor lamp dates from the 1970s and combines a solid brass torchère-style column with a dramatic shell-shaped shade made of individually mounted frosted glass petals, radiating outward from a brass collar to form a large fan/clam-shell silhouette.
Details:
Height: 150 cm
Shade: multiple individually cast frosted/opaline glass petals (scalloped, fluted texture), each mounted separately into a brass fitting not a single molded piece, indicating a more artisanal construction
Base: brass tripod with scrolled cabriole-style feet, turned and ribbed brass stem
Style: Hollywood Regency / shell-motif decorative lighting, in the spirit of designers like Willy Daro, though this particular piece is unsigned and unattributed
Wiring: original vintage wiring visible (fabric-covered cable, period plug) buyer should have it inspected/rewired by a qualified electrician before use, as is standard for vintage lighting of this age
Condition: good vintage condition with expected age-related brass patina; no chips visible on the glass petals (please inspect photos closely)
Origin: Continental Europe (France/Italy), circa 1970s
