DESCRIPTION

A very rare table lamp (or abat-jour) made by the famous Belgian designer Willy Daro around the late 1960s. The brass lamp base incorporates an abalone shell to the middle. The highly iridescent inner nacre layer of the shell of abalone has traditionally been used as a decorative item, in jewellery, buttons, and as inlay in furniture and musical instruments. It creates a wonderful effect as the light from above bounces off the iridescent sea shell. The lamp even has the original silk clad lamp shade which is so often lost, damaged or replaced over the years and is height adjustable. It truly is a rare and perfect example of Willy Daro’s best work.

Willy Daro owned Les Nouveaux Ateliers Willy Daro and worked in Brussels from the late 1960s to 1987. His pieces are fabulous examples of an eccentric, modern and bold style. He is particularly well known today for his lamps, where he often combined brass and chrome with large natural materials such as agate, semi-precious stones, coral and shells, or botanical and floral sculptural forms. The designs from the 1970s combined the Brutalist style with fossils and minerals. Daro’s designs were sophisticated, with luxurious materials and great attention to detail, making each item a unique sculptural piece of art.
