Art Deco Machine Age Table Lamps in Brushed Aluminum & Glass by Russell Wright
Art Deco Machine Age Table Lamps in Brushed Aluminum & Glass by Russell Wright
This refined pair of Art Deco Machine Age table lamps were realized by the fabled industrial Designer Russell Wright in the United States circa 1935. They feature circular volumetric bases in brushed aluminum from which the body of each lamp ascends. The bodies are composed of alternating cylindrical streamlined segments of alternating bands of translucent glass and brushed aluminum, and capped with a cylindrical neck. These lamps are a study in the simplicity of great design, as au courant and timeless looking today as when they were created more than 80 years ago. With their classically Machine Age materials (and forms), created by one of the period's design legends, these lamps are sure to delight discerning collectors of the period as well as those with a penchant for all things special and stunning. They come with custom shades and are in excellent vintage condition. The lamps have been newly rewired to American standards.
