Sculptural lamp body, "Stacked Glass" design, vintage, 1975-1985, modernist

A beautiful, sculptural lamp body made of glass strips, ready to be electrified, to accommodate a string of lights or a large LED candle for ambient lighting. Vintage, dating from 1975-1985, handcrafted, with a very chic and unusual modernist "Stacked Glass" design, likely the work of an independent glassmaker of Italian or French origin. Composed of long glass strips stacked in a square on a silver-plated metal frame, each consisting of three slightly greenish-blue transparent strips separated by a black glass or lucite strip. The strips are held together by a very thin layer of white rubber at the ends (slightly visible on the sides as it protrudes in places, but discreet). It has the shape of a square tube, with a wave-like motion. Some of the strips are shorter and irregular, leaving gaps in the structure; this appears to be an original characteristic of the handcrafted work. It measures 30 cm in height including the feet, which are silver-plated metal balls, and is approximately 21 cm deep at its deepest point and 15.5 cm wide. It is in very good overall condition, with a few small, discreet chips on the edges, which do not detract from its appearance. It weighs approximately 3.5 kg.
