ARCO ITALIAN LAMP 1960 ' S CASTIGLIONI - MID - CENTURY MODERN - WHITE MARBLE BASE
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:144553 | Style: Mid-Century Modern |
Legendary Italian designers, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, came up with this now classic lamp in 1962. This lamp has been shown in the Museum of Modern Art as a model of mid century design! The base is a gleaming marble (est. 160 pounds); the arc is adjustable; the metal is stainless steel on the arc and on the lamp itself. The marble base ha...s a hole through it. I understand that this is to place a dowel through it to move it more easily … with a friend's help! There is a black foot pedal pictured, the top of which will turn off the lamp and the bottom will turn it on. Bought originally in the 60s, the owner has lovingly cared for it. There was one small repair done on the pedal; there is some very minor scratching on the lamp bowl. Works perfectly; shows well. A beauty!
