Pair of solid travertine table lamps with incised decoration, French production.

Pair of solid travertine table lamps, rectangular in shape, characterised by a sculpted decoration of diagonal grooves on the front. The stone displays its natural cavities and typical sandy beige hues of travertine, enhancing the mineral and architectural aspect of the whole piece. This pair is part of French production from the 1970s–1980s, influenced by European explorations of sculpted stone and geometric forms. The carving work and incised pattern evoke certain Italian productions from the Volterra region, particularly those from workshops such as Cerri Nestore, although a precise attribution cannot be confirmed. The whole offers a sober and structured aesthetic, typical of modernist and brutalist design. Sold without lampshades. ________________________________________ Technical details: • Designer: not attributed. • Manufacturer: unidentified, French production. • Period: circa 1970–1980. • Materials: solid travertine, brass. • Finish: carved stone, partially polished raw surface, original patina. • Electricity: refurbished and functional. ________________________________________ Dimensions: • Height: 22 cm (8.66 in) • Width: 12 cm (4.72 in) • Depth: 5 cm (1.97 in) • Weight: approximately 2 X 2.5 kg. ________________________________________ Condition: Good overall condition.
