Sinuous and precise, these Italian lamps braid hand-forged iron around tapered glass shades—like a line of ink wrapped round a shard of light. The metal carries a deep, burnished patina; the conical glass (clear inner, softly etched outer) catches the glow and throws sculptural shadow. Small in footprint, big on atmosphere.
The form is all gesture: a slender stem rises and curves, cinched at the waist by a coiled iron ring that cradles the glass cone. Lit, the etched surface softens the light to a warm, even bloom; unlit, the pieces read as small works of metalwork and glass—part botanical, part calligraphic. They sit confidently on a mantel, console, or bedside, where the height gives presence without visual bulk, and the footprint keeps surfaces useable.
Handmade character is evident throughout—hammer traces, subtle irregularities, a patina that’s earned rather than applied—giving the pair the right mix of refinement and rawness.
