A 1950’s Italian floor lamp Model 2003 designed by Max Ingrand and produced by Fontana Arte, Milan. Circular brass wrapped glass base with spun brass column which flares seamlessly into the conical opaline white glass shade. The lamp has been completely re-wired but retains the original brass floor switch.
