Pair of Lucite & Gunmetal Torchieres w/ Brass Fittings, Signed Karl Springer
This monumental pair of Torchieres are the work of Karl Springer, an American designer who studied sculpture at Syracuse University before moving to New York and becoming a mainstay of American Mid-Century Modern design . The Lucite body of these massive torchieres gives them a polished modern appearance that contrasts beautifully with their gunmetal finish. Polished Brass Fittings and rounded switches create an intriguing contrast against the gunmetal finish of the Torchiere's body. A bold statement piece that adds warmth, sophistication and an engaging focal point in a wide array of interior and movements. They have been newly rewired to American standards and are in excellent vintage condition. They are also signed on the base. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
