Italian table lamp in brass and red metal modern style, 50s

This is a 1950s Mid-Century Modern Italian table lamp, featuring a combination of brass and red-painted metal. The design embodies the clean lines and sleek, functional aesthetics characteristic of the Mid-Century Modern style. The lamp has a distinct circular red metal lampshade, which is broad and shallow, providing a wide spread of light. The lamp's base is also made of red-painted metal, with a round, sturdy form that complements the shade above. The brass stem, which connects the base to the shade, adds a touch of elegance and warmth through its golden hue, creating a striking contrast with the vibrant red. The use of brass is typical of Mid-Century design, known for blending metallic accents with bold, colorful elements. A notable feature is the streamlined, minimalistic design, where form follows function, yet maintains a stylish, eye-catching appearance. This lamp would be considered a statement piece, reflecting the innovative design trends of postwar Italian design and Mid-Century Modernism. The lamp is in working order and in good condition overall.
