Italian Mid-Century Modern Cantilevered Table / Desk Lamp, Attr. to Arredoluce

Creator: Arredoluce (Attributed) -Angelo Lelli (Lelii)
Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
An original, daring Italian Mid-Century Modern table lamp circa 1950 attributed to Arredoluce and Angelo Lelli. This elegant and rare piece displays the timeless aesthetics, balance and engineering that Italian Design is known for. A minimalist nickeled steel stem arm is the center of the desk lamp and a nickeled mechanism allows a cross braced arm to move up and down and to cantilever itself 360 degrees. This allows the lamp to focus light downward, sidewards or upward to light a wall, creating both a poetic statement and a practical instrument. The complimentary colors of a black base and a white reflector shade balance and give energy to the entire composition. Overall, it is both a subtle and dramatic work of art.

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
