ABOUT PRODUCTID 12764
This table lamp, dating from the 1950s and most likely produced in the USSR, stands out with its distinct folk motif rooted in Eastern European tradition. The structure combines bakelite and metal: a slender, arched brass stem supports a lantern-shaped shade, whose matte black pyramidal metal top crowns four decorative panels. Each panel, set against an off-white ground, features monochromatic folk art graphics in deep navy blue and black, depicting traditional figures in regional attire framed by floral and vine ornamentation. The geometric base, made of polished dark stone—very likely granite or marble—is finished with a gold-toned metal ring at the junction with the stem. The lamp's finish alternates between matte and glossy, with elongated vertical proportions contributing to an impression of delicacy and height. The overall preserved condition is classified as very good, with only slight age-consistent marks—subtle patina on the metal elements and minor scratches to the stone base. There are no significant damages or signs of restoration, emphasizing the authenticity of this vintage piece.The lamp's form echoes the quiet domesticity of the post-war era, when folk patterns offered a gentle counterpoint to the emerging industrial aesthetic. Each folk vignette, framed within its creamy panel, tells a story—a memory of home festivities, local rituals passed through generations, or simply the warmth of shared tradition. The interplay of exposed brass gloss and matte surfaces conjures the spirit of its era: details as silent keepers of meaning. The lamp's slender form and solid craftsmanship bridge the world of utilitarian
