Product description
Willy Daro Stijl – Very Rare Table Lamp – 85 cm – Agate Geode & Brass – Belgium – 1970-1979
This lot features a monumental and extremely rare agate lamp by the Belgian master designer Willy Daro. While most lamps from this period are modestly sized, this is a rare "Grande" model with a total height of no less than 85 cm.
The Power of Nature:
• The center of this lamp is an enormous natural agate geode weighing 11.2 kg.
• The stone is approximately 18 cm thick, creating a spectacular sense of depth and a magnificent crystalline cavity at its center.
• Unlike the thinner agate discs more commonly found, this massive geode acts as a substantial sculptural object.
Construction and Design:
• The lamp is crafted from high-quality solid brass; the base alone weighs 2.5 kg.
• The arm features the fluid, organic lines typical of Daro's work, while the brass mirror presents the stone as if it were being offered to the viewer's gaze.
• The lamp is equipped with a double socket, ensuring powerful and even lighting of the crystals.
Condition and Details:
• Total weight: approximately 13.7 kg.
• Height: 85 cm.
• Condition: in good vintage condition with a beautiful, authentic patina on the brass.
