Italy, mid 20th century
Onyx shade and stone base, 17 x 10 x 10 cm
Excellent condition, and fine working order.
A pair of table lamps carved from solid onyx, believed to be Italian and date from mid-20th century.
Each is formed from a compact block of translucent stone, with carved concentric reliefs. The geometry is simple, almost brutalist, with the proportions establishing a quiet, architectural clarity.
When illuminated, the onyx reveals its internal structure - bands of mineral veining and warm whites - producing a soft, ambient glow and distinct atmosphere. Unlit, the lamps have a calm, quiet solidity.
These are objects that hold their own without excess.
