Mahogany Open Twist Lamp

Mahogany Open Barley-Twist Table Lamp, c.1900–1920 The deeply twisted column gives the piece a strong sculptural quality, while the dark reddish-brown polished timber gives it a warm, traditional appearance. The open-twist form was particularly fashionable in British interiors around the turn of the 20th century and remained popular through the Edwardian period.
