Italian Art Deco Rope Floor Lamp, 1930s

$3,800.00

An Italian Art Deco floor lamp from the 1930s, distinguished by its tall torchiere silhouette, rope-wrapped stem, and richly patinated copper-toned metal.

The lamp features a slender vertical column wrapped in tightly coiled natural rope, introducing a tactile contrast to the smooth metal elements. A rounded, stepped metal fitting punctuates the center of the stem, dividing its length while adding a decorative detail characteristic of the Art Deco period. The warm brown rope complements the darkened copper finish.

At the top, a broad, shallow metal bowl forms the upward-facing torchiere shade. Its gently curved profile directs light toward the ceiling, providing indirect illumination. The shade retains a richly aged copper-toned exterior, while three light sockets are arranged within to distribute light across the bowl. A circular, domed metal base echoes the shape of the upper shade, giving the tall, narrow form a balanced appearance.

The combination of natural rope and patinated metal introduces a nautical influence to the geometric simplicity of Italian Art Deco design. With its commanding height and proportions, the lamp works particularly well beside a lounge chair, or in a living room corner.
