Barbier-style brass table lamp, 1960s




















This exquisite table lamp is crafted from polished brass. Its sturdy cylindrical base supports a sphere through a brass connector, creating a pure and precise geometric and aesthetic contrast. Above the sphere, there is another tubular, flared brass connector that houses the light source at its top. This lamp was crafted in the Space Age style between 1960 and 1965 in a workshop near Paris by a skilled artisan. The use of brass enhances the grandeur, beauty, and warmth of the material, highlighting its interplay with light and its reflective qualities, which have become an integral part of the lamp’s identity. The design is inspired by the style of Maison Barbier and was made with the same attention to detail and refinement characteristic of the renowned Parisian company, using premium materials crafted with artisanal expertise. Maison Barbier, founded and led by Philippe Barbier, was a Paris-based company celebrated for its lighting and furniture creations during the 1960s and 1970s. Philippe Barbier, a distinguished 20th-century designer, was known for his craftsmanship and innovative designs. He remains famous for his original lamps, which, thanks to their innovative, unconventional, and timeless forms, gained global popularity and continue to be highly sought after by collectors. Our lamp stands out for its modern and contemporary design, which is both minimalist and refined. It is a unique, elegant, and sophisticated piece of décor that blends neoclassical aesthetics with a modern, space-inspired touch, resulting in a visually clean and harmonious object. The lamp is sold without a lampshade, allowing buyers to select one according to their personal taste and in harmony with their home’s color scheme. However, you are welcome to contact us if you wish to purchase the lampshade shown in the last photo or a similar option. The lamp is in good condition. The electrical system is functional, but it has European wiring. Compatibility with voltage in other countries should always be checked by a qualified electrician before use.
