A hand-carved owl lamp by Albert Tormos, France 1970s. The owl — traditionally a symbol of wisdom and the nocturnal — is a particularly appropriate subject for a lamp, and Tormos's treatment is both witty and accomplished.
The carving is confident and precise, the bird's form simplified to its essential features without losing naturalistic conviction.
In very good condition.
