Art Deco Table Lamp, 1920

20s art deco lamp. In good condition with wear and tear caused by the years. The history of the Art Decor company goes back a long way, to 1958, and to the northern Italian town of Meda where Fulvio Galimberti opened a French-polishing and wood-carving workshop. He began by creating accessories: elaborate mirrors, ornaments and small sculpted objects. As time went by Art Décor began to produce furniture and develop a veritable passion for antiques which bloomed into one of the company’s most prestigious departments. Initially, Fulvio bought and restored particularly interesting rarities, and, at the beginning of the 1970s, he started travelling as far afield as the United Kingdom in search of objects d’art from the ex-colonies and the Commonwealth. The quality of the items purchased and of the restoration work carried out soon attracted a highly exclusive clientele.
