About the Item

A really beautiful and rare pair of high end Mid-Century Modern lamps made in Italy in the 1950s. Matte bisque natural white color with black bases. Newly rewired with new cords and high end bronze color double sockets. Each lamp has four sides with hand-carved fruits and leaves. apple, lemons, grapes and pears. These lamps are a great example of Italian Mid-Century design. These lamps were probably made in the factory of Fantoni and designed by Marcelo Fantoni, but we can not verify attribution. They are auction worthy lamps, and a wonderful example of the amazing arisans that made lamps that were more works of art sculptures than a plug in lamp. Beautiful opriginal condition, there are a few very small chips on a few leaves. Not easily noticeable. we had to custom order thsese new Italian lampshades to do justice to the lamps. They are a natural color woven raffia on the outside of the lamp. shiny white lining inside the shade. The fruit were sculptered in such a life like detailed version of the Italian fruits. the lamps are currently in our Palm Desert showroom in an all Italian mid-century pair of chairs, tables in the style of Gio Ponti.
