Maker & History
Cut-glass lamp bases were widely used in European decorative lighting during the 1960s and 1970s, when traditional crystal effects were reworked into cleaner, more architectural forms. Paired with metal fittings, they brought weight, sparkle and a slightly glamorous presence to otherwise modern interiors.

Why we love it

Sourced by Catherine

I was drawn to the craftsmanship of the cut glass and the way it catches and reflects the light. I also love that it carries a real sense of history, which gives the piece even more character.
