Sculptural Turned Wood Floor Lamps, France, 1960, Set of 2
Description
Sculptural Turned Wood Floor Lamps, France, 1960, set of two.
A pair of floor lamps in turned wood, France, 1960s. The body of each lamp is composed of stacked truncated cone sections, graduating in diameter from a wide circular base to a narrow waist, where they meet an inverted conical shade that opens upward to direct light toward the ceiling. The construction reads as both functional object and sculptural form — the segmented shaft recalling totemic or archaic references while remaining firmly within the mid-century idiom.
The wood carries a deep reddish-brown patina, warm and uneven across the grain, with the natural figuring of the material visible throughout. Each section is finished with a polished surface that deepens with age. The interior of the shade diffuses the bulb's light softly, casting an amber wash upward against the wall.
