Paire de lampes italiennes en métal doré martelé, années 1970

Deux globes d'un blanc laiteux reposent dans des coupes de métal doré, portées par des fûts coniques cannelés qui s'évasent vers le sol. Tout le métal est froissé, martelé, strié de sillons verticaux, et renvoie la lumière en éclats vifs et en noirs profonds, à la manière d'une matière en fusion figée. La sphère lisse et laiteuse répond à cette surface agitée, et le contraste fait toute la force du dessin. Les deux lampes, jumelles de silhouette, se lisent ensemble.

Dans les années 1970, des ateliers italiens produisent des luminaires en laiton et en métal doré que les marchands rangent aujourd'hui sous l'étiquette Hollywood Regency, et que l'on associe notamment à Tommaso Barbi ou à Bottega Gadda, atelier de Carlo Giorgi et Tommaso Barbi. Ces repères, tirés de sources commerciales, n'engagent pas l'attribution. La galerie ne cite ni créateur ni maison, et aucune marque n'est signalée. Elle présente ces lampes comme une paire d'origine italienne, vintage, sans préciser la nature de la dorure.

Read in English

Two milky white globes rest in cups of gilt metal, carried on fluted conical stems that flare toward the floor. All the metal is crumpled, hammered and furrowed with vertical grooves, and it throws the light back in bright flashes and deep blacks, like molten matter caught as it set. The smooth, milky sphere answers this restless surface, and the contrast gives the design its whole strength. The two lamps, twins in silhouette, read as one.

In the 1970s Italian workshops produced lighting in brass and gilt metal that dealers now file under the label Hollywood Regency, associated in particular with Tommaso Barbi and with Bottega Gadda, the workshop of Carlo Giorgi and Tommaso Barbi. These markers, drawn from commercial sources, do not amount to an attribution. The gallery names no designer or house, and no mark is recorded. It presents the lamps as a vintage pair of Italian origin, without stating the nature of the gilding.
