This remarkably scaled and materially stunning Mid-Century Modernist Large Geometric Table Lamp in Tessellated Shagreen is by the esteemed artist and designer Karl Springer and originates from the United States, Circa 1975. Karl Springer is highly regarded and known for his unrivaled sense of scale and proportion, often utilizing fine and exotic materials in his works, which began as small scale hand-made objects and expanded into furniture design where he specialized for a majority of his career. This table lamp features two primary geometric forms, a sphere composing the body of the lamp and a pyramidal shade which rests above and extends over the edge of the sphere. The shade is attached with a cylindrical polished brass finial, with an open top and a cross shaped frame. The surface of the piece is entirely covered with tessellated panels of shagreen applied with incredible precision. The textural detailing and natural variation of the material is stunning, casting a warm grey hue with subtle shifts in value throughout. A rare statement piece, this table lamp will style beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. Newly rewired to American Standards, this piece takes two Edison based bulbs achieving up to 200 Watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
American, circa 1985
