A striking and highly refined pair of travertine table lamps designed by philippe barbier for maison barbier, embodying timeless elegance and sculptural sophistication. Each lamp features a beautifully proportioned composition of solid travertine and gilt metal. The base is formed by a precisely cut travertine block of exceptional quality, supporting a distinctive central element crafted from travertine as well. This middle section is uniquely shaped—appearing almost spherical from the front, yet revealing a flattened, coin-like profile from the side, adding a subtle sculptural tension and visual interest. The warm gilt metal accents create a luxurious contrast to the natural stone. The gilding shows gentle wear consistent with age, contributing to a rich and authentic patina that enhances the overall character and desirability of the pieces. These lamps are offered without shades, allowing the new owner to personalize the final look to suit their interior—whether modern, hollywood regency, or classic. They pair beautifully with marble, travertine, and other refined materials, making them a versatile addition to sophisticated interiors. A true statement pair—elegant, rare, and effortlessly luxurious. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
