Argentine Blue-Grey Art Glass Buffet Lamp

A statuesque presence at forty-two inches, this buffet lamp from John Richard commands the sideboard or console with the quiet authority of a serious art object. The body is wrought in art glass suffused with Argentine blue-grey — a color that reads as neither fully blue nor wholly grey, shifting with the light the way water does at dusk. Crystal and iron work in concert with a polished nickel finish to resolve the composition with architectural precision, each material chosen for the tension it creates against the others. It is the kind of lamp that renders everything arranged beside it more considered.
