Fratelli Mannelli – “elephant” Lamp In Travertine, Italy, 1970
“Elephant” table lamp by Fratelli Mannelli, Italy. The base is carved from a block of travertine with horizontal veining and natural pores. The animal is rendered in a minimalist form: a rounded back, an arch for the legs, a thin vertical groove for the trunk, and a small hole for the eye.
A chrome-plated metal shaft, resting on the elephant’s back, holds the socket and the lampshade. The oval-shaped lampshade is made of cream-colored fabric and edged with a gold trim. It diffuses a soft, warm light that highlights the stone’s grain.
A graphic and decorative piece, representative of the stonework that has made Fratelli Mannelli’s reputation, and which will complement both vintage-style interiors and contemporary decor.
