Italian Barley Twist Lamp

A striking Italian table lamp featuring a hand-carved barley twist column in richly patinated giltwood. The sculptural silhouette rests on a shaped giltwood plinth and a solid green marble base, grounding the design with texture and weight.

The lamp is topped with a custom hand-painted paper shade, crafted in a classic taper with an ivory ground and matte black trim. The painterly finish and thoughtful detailing lend this piece a refined, bespoke character.

Newly rewired and fully functional, this lamp blends Italian craftsmanship with timeless style—ideal for adding warmth and classical charm to consoles, desks, or bedside tables.
