1960s Large Brass Table Lamp Hand Etched

Large vintage 1960s brass table lamp featuring a square base that is hand etched with a modernist abstract flower pattern. Large shade covered with a deep chocolate brown fabric.

The late 1960s and early 1970s were distinguished by a strong confluence of creativity and functionalism in furnishing and decor. We already recognise many mid-century furniture designs as icons of modernism.

The design and earthy tones reflects the change from the bright funky furnishings that were omnipresent in the early to mid 1960s.

Besides adding light, lamps set the mood and style of a room. This particular piece is typical of the period, with many lamps made from malleable working materials such as brass, which were hammered into shape with surface patterns and designs etched by hand to create the desired effect.

This remarkable piece is in great condition.
