Black chain floor lamp, circa 1970

With its shaft made of black lacquered chain links, this floor lamp plays the balancing act between decorative object and functional sculpture. The work of the foot, all in rhythmic verticality, immediately catches the eye. It rests on a tripod base in black metal, with a fine and curved silhouette, bringing a graphic stability to the whole. The cream pleated lampshade, in a sober drum shape, softens the whole 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 bringing a theatrical touch to a contemporary living room. Good condition. Electricity ok. Socket bulb.
