Featured LG Chrome Italian arc lamp, label --maker??

Owners purchased this lamp in 1982 or 1983.

No label but there is the exact model on Ebay and made a copy from that auction see photo 2.

On the off chance anyone can put it with a maker's name, please respond. Thanks!



Anyone recognize this label?

 

The only LV I know is Louis Vuitton.

 

Arco lamp designed by Castiglioni, are still made in the US by Floss, but I think the patents expired years ago and has been made by many others. Yours looks like quality.

 

Thanks for the views.

Pretty sure it is a good one, even if not by a known maker. Former owner had/has $$$ and was buying modern pieces in the early 80s.

It was a crazy sale -- certain things way under-priced and other things many times retail.

That marble base, 11" across, about 7" tall weighs something like 70lbs, maybe more!! But it holds that telescoping arm and all it's weight from the off-center post. Luckily for moving, the entire chrome piece, electrical etc. is separate from the base. It fits over a post that is embedded in the marble.

 

That is a cool item to have.

 

Or hopefully to sell.

 

"pick up only"

 

at 70 pounds....pick up ....takes on a whole new meaning !!!!

 

You better believe pick up only! In fact I'm going to specify that they need to get that base out of the house without my help. I only carried it for 20 feet (with a 2nd person!!) and I think I might have strained an arm muscle which and with 2 piano performances coming up the timing couldn't be worse.

Definitely pick up only!

 

Hi Lucille, I just picked up a similar lamp with the same sticky ‘LV’ label - mine differs in that it has a heavy black metal base and six ‘arms’ with a bulb at the end of each. The lighting, wires, etc also separate easily from the base for transport.
I haven’t done any research yet, but if I learn anything I’ll post the info here.

 

looks cool, is that a Louis Vuitton lamp?

 

does it look like this ????????
