A cave-shaped lamp by Arsène Galisson, produced in the 1970s. The form is carved to suggest a natural rock formation, hollowed to receive a bulb — so that when lit, the lamp appears to glow from within, like a lantern inside a cavern.
The effect is quietly magical, and the piece demonstrates Galisson's consistent interest in the meeting point between natural and artificial illumination. Signed on the reverse.
Dimensions in cm ( H x L x l ) : 24 x 20 x 11
Excellent condition.
