IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT I GOOGLED CS ARTE ITALY AFTER I FOUND A CAST BRASS MARBLE ATLAS LAMP ON 1ST DIBS. AFTER A BACK AND FORTH WITH CS ARTE THEY TOLD ME THAT ,YES, THEY MADE THE LAMP AND THE LAMP WAS MADE AROUND 1975 AND THE MODEL WAS CALLED 5932/T.
Hello! This is my first time posting on here , but I have been lurking for a few years now. I have come to learn a lot form you guys. I have a lamp bug and it is only getting worse 🙂
I bought a really cool lamp about 18 months ago. I have searched the internet archives and books, to no avail, in the search of the maker/designer of this lamp. It is quite heavy and someone told me it was make out of cast brass. The base has a biomorph shape. It stands about 67 inches tall. It uses a halogen J-type light bulb. It the base there is a dimmer that is marked Thunsgram. There are no markings or stickers/labels anywhere on it. It might be worth mentioning that I bought this lamp in the USA , but it had a european 220V light bulb. The plug was american.
I spent hours trying to find a lead. I am convinced that this is a high quality lamp and could be very rare and maybe have a somewhat significant monetary value (monetary value is a personal matter/it has a different meaning from person to person). If you have any ideas, thoughts, leads on when, where, by whom this lamp was made please help me.

Wow what a lamp...
nice find... kind of freeform bio - mostlikely nickel on brass - definately quality - most likely pretty rare. I'd be sending pics also to Rago - Christies - and Sotheby's modern departments to inquire. You might also try DecoDame in Miami. My guess is French or Scandinavian. I'd also check Jacques Adnet - and I know Laurel did several Bio freeform lamps. Good Luck. rbjr
Thanks
First of all, I would like to say thanks for all your replies so far.
Secondly, I snapped some better pics of it.
The scuffed look much much much better in real life.
I searched all I could online on Jacques Adnet lamps but I could not come close to mine . I spent a whole afternoon looking at Adnet designs just hoping that maybe ....
I believe it was made sometime in the second half of the XX century and here is why: The use of a Halogen J-Type bulb-if I am correct these were not around before the 1960's(I might be wrong) or, to my knowledge, not used in residential lighting.
I am almost 100% positive that it is not a repurposed item. It was surely made to be a lamp/ torchiere/uplighter.
It never crossed my mind it could be Scandinavian, but I will surely look into that.
I always thought it could be French.
I know almost nothing about Swiss lamp design...
The dimmer is Italian but that doesn't really mean much....
I will look more into Laurel freeform lamps for sure.
It could
Looking af the lamp, i think the halogen does not really suit the design, imy biggest problem is the switch. No designer in his or her right mind would place such a switch after coming up with a design such as this. It could have been a candlestick / churchobject or other from of lighting. My guess is still that is is repurposed....
