Description

The piece

Authentic vintage Sunburst lamp dating from the 1950s–60s, crafted in metal with a richly textured gold leaf finish. The design centres on a domed core surrounded by radiating metal rays, creating a powerful sun-like silhouette typical of mid-century decorative lighting.

The hand-applied finish shows gentle age and patina, adding depth and warmth to the surface and reinforcing its genuine vintage character.

Lighting & atmosphere

Fitted with two light points, this Sunburst lamp produces a warm, atmospheric glow once illuminated. The layered metal rays interact beautifully with light, creating depth, contrast, and a subtle halo effect that enhances the sculptural quality of the piece.
