Black chain floor lamp, circa 1970

With its body made of links in black lacquered chain, this floor lamp balances between decorative object and functional sculpture. The work on the base, with its rhythmic verticality, immediately captures the eye. It rests on a black metal tripod base, with a slender and curved silhouette, providing graphic stability to the whole. The cream pleated lampshade, in a simple drum shape, softens the overall look by diffusing a muted light. The contrast between the dark chain and the softness of the textile creates a subtle and very decorative tension. A unique piece, probably handmade (1960s-70s), perfect for anchoring a collector's interior or adding a theatrical touch to a contemporary living room. In good condition. Electrical system is fine. Bulb socket.
