Metallic Ice Table Lamp, Brass

A composition of polished brass and crystal that reads as both sculpture and source of light, the Metallic Ice Table Lamp by John Richard rises thirty-two and a half inches with the quiet authority of a well-considered architectural gesture. Faceted glass catches and refracts whatever illumination it casts, producing that layered, prismatic warmth that only crystal can render. The brass framework, finished to a high polish, lends the piece a formal luminosity entirely at home on a console in an entry hall or anchoring a pair of matched nightstands in a principal bedroom. It is the kind of object that rewards proximity — the closer the eye, the more it reveals.
