Italian Etched Glass + Brass Table Lamp, 1960s
An Italian etched glass and brass table lamp from the 1960s, distinguished by its broad, disc-shaped shade and geometric detailing.
The lamp features two shallow, domed glass panels enclosed within a circular brass band, creating a flattened, saucer-like silhouette. The softly frosted glass is decorated with a repeating pattern of intersecting etched lines, forming a geometric grid that becomes more pronounced when illuminated. The brass rim frames the glass, adding warmth and definition to the shade.
A slender brass column supports the wide glass shade, with tapered sections at either end introducing subtle variations in proportion. The stem rests on a circular brass base with a small switch positioned near its edge. The naturally aged brass finish brings depth to the surface, complementing the delicate pattern of the glass.
When illuminated, the lamp emits a warm, diffused glow through both glass panels, highlighting the etched detailing. Its low, horizontal shade contrasts with the vertical brass stem, giving the piece a distinctive profile.
Positioned on a console, side table, or desk, the lamp offers ambient lighting while reflecting the geometric forms and material experimentation characteristic of Italian lighting design in the 1960s.
