Italian Torchiere Floor Lamp by Denis Casey for Casey Fantin, 1960s - 2 Available
An Italian torchiere floor lamp designed by Denis Casey for Casey Fantin in the 1960s, combining the warmth of brass with the simplicity of a tall silhouette.
The lamp is defined by a slender cylindrical column with a deep bronze-toned finish, rising from a circular polished brass base. Its uninterrupted vertical form gives the piece a strong presence. At the top, a flared brass fitting supports a broad, shallow glass bowl. The fitting is particularly distinctive, with elongated fluted detailing that recalls the form of a classical column capital.
The wide glass shade has a softly translucent, alabaster-like appearance, with delicate variations in tone visible across its surface. Its shallow, upward-facing form allows light to spread toward the ceiling, producing a gentle, indirect illumination rather than a concentrated beam. The generous diameter of the bowl also creates an interesting contrast with the narrow column below, giving the lamp a balanced silhouette.
The design reflects the Italian approach to lighting during the 1960s, when classical references were often reinterpreted through simplified forms and contrasting materials. Casey's use of polished brass, darker metal finishes, and a substantial glass diffuser brings together traditional decorative elements and a more modern sense of proportion.
