Very elegant lamp in travertine; the base in the shape of a parallelepiped supports with a brass fitting a perfect lenticular geometric figure, then there is the flared tubular structure for the light point. It was made in France by Maison Barbier between 1960 and 1967; Maison Barbier was a small factory in Rue du Pré aux Clercs near the Boulevard Saint-Germain in the center of Paris; Philippe Barbier was a listed 20th century French designer, he designed furniture and tables, but he remained famous for his original lamps, which with their innovative, unusual and timeless shape have become popular all over the world, even today they are very popular with collectors. Famous film records have used Barbier''s lamps in the settings of their films. But besides the design, the lamp has another value, the extraordinary and prestigious material with which it was made: travertine. Tuscan travertine, synonymous with charm, elegance, simplicity and versatility that ennobles the art of building. Travertine, extracted since the time of the Etruscans in the Rapolano basin in the heart of the Crete Senesi, starts from history to make history, in fact this limestone, in balance between flexibility and rigidity, has allowed and still allows the creativity of architects and designers such as the Maison Barbier to create creations of absolute value. Rapolano Stone, as a building material, has been used in many palaces and even historical buildings in the Sienese area. The Torre del Mangia in Piazza del Campo, the headquarters of Monte dei Paschi founded in 1472 in Siena, are some striking examples. But the whole city of Siena is largely made of Pietra di Rapolano. Therefore, our lamp as a whole, beyond the preciousness of stone, has a modern and contemporary design, not too heavy but essential, a unique furnishing accessory, refined and elegant at the same time. The lamp is supplied without lampshade Attention: the electrical system is new but the wiring is European, the compatibility of voltage in other countries must always be verified by an electrician before use. Measurements (without lampshade) height cm.42, diameter cm 14, base depth cm 10.
