Mod. 553 Table Lamp by Oscar Torlasco for Lumi, Collectible Italian Design

About the Item

Oscar Torlasco Lamp - Torlasco Table Lamp - Mid-Century Table Lamp Rare and sought-after "Mod. 553" table lamp in brass and bakelite, designed by Oscar Torlasco for Lumi. Like most of his creations, the fixture features a distinctive trumpet-shaped lampshade, which holds inside the light bulb and is topped by a glass lens that enhances the illumination. Details in black bakelite render the lamp timeless and elegant, thanks to the nice contrast with the brass body. The lamp is preserved in very good conditions, is working and is thoroughly original down to the plug and switch. It presents a pleasant overall patina and some signs of the time including minor scratches and dents. Check the pictures and video for an overview of the conditions.

  • Vintage Italian 600 table lamp by Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce, black body & base
    By Gino Sarfatti, Arteluce
    Located in Milano, IT
    Founded in 1936 by italian designer Gino Sarfatti, Arteluce has been one of the most influential brands in italian mid-century lighting. The production of the company covered every genre of lamps, from floor and table ones to sconces and ceiling lights. The reference numbers showed a methodical organisation, with numbers starting from 100 for sconces, 500 for table lamps, 1000 for floor lamps, 2000 for chandeliers and 3000 for ceiling lights. The present lamp has reference number 600, and is indeed a table lamp. It is characterised by the funny leather bag at the base: filled with sand, it works as a weight, and allows the lamp to be placed at several different angles on the table. It is a very rare and sought after piece designed by Sarfatti himself. Preserved in very good conditions, the original...
