Heritage, Craftsmanship & Historical Note
A distinctive sculptural table lamp from 1970s Britain, designed at a time when mid-century modernism was giving way to bolder, more tactile experimentation. The column, cast in metal with a textured bronze finish, rises gracefully from an angular stepped base, its relief pattern catching the light to reveal depth and movement. Each contour reflects the maker’s skill in combining utility with sculptural artistry.
This lamp exemplifies the post-war British approach to decorative design - merging functionality with creative expression. During the 1970s, designers increasingly treated lighting as art, exploring organic forms and surface texture in new materials. The result here is both a source of illumination and a piece of visual sculpture: confident, refined, and enduringly modern.
