Art Deco Revival Chrome & Clear Vitrolite Torchiere

This stunning Art Deco Revival torchiere was created circa 1975 in the United States. It features an Eileen Gray inspired base that features an open circular form created by a single curled rod of chrome that traces the floor stopping short of completing the circle. The bending rod instead extends towards the middle at a right angle creating both a visually dynamic and supportive stand. The rod extends upwards towards the ceiling where it culminates in three stacked concave chrome shades that connect to a conical neck. Skyscraper style detailing in translucent vitrolite sit between the neck and the shades offering a beautiful tonal and material counterpoint to the chrome elements. With its clean modernist lines and monochromatic palate, this piece would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Art Deco to contemporary. It has been newly rewired to American standards and is in excellent vintage condition.
