Italian Travertine Obelisk Table Lamp
A striking Italian table lamp dating to the 1970s, sculpted from richly textured travertine and conceived in the form of a classical obelisk.
The architectural composition features a tall, dramatically tapered body rising from a stepped rectangular pedestal, giving the lamp a distinctly neoclassical presence while retaining the clean geometry associated with Italian design of the period. The natural travertine is particularly appealing, with characteristic pitting, tonal variation and fossil-like markings throughout the stone, ensuring that every surface has its own subtle character.
The travertine body is grounded by a slim brass-toned plinth, providing a warm metallic counterpoint to the softly coloured stone. Its combination of monumental classical form and restrained materials recalls the sophisticated decorative vocabulary of Italian interiors during the 1970s.
Shown with a pleated shade, the lamp has an elegant vertical proportion and works beautifully as a statement lamp on a console, side table or beside a sofa. Equally at home in a traditional, modernist or layered contemporary interior.
Wired for North American use.
