Price on request

Rare and collectible 'Belboi' table lamp designed and produced by Venini in Murano, Italy, 1985. Featuring a scarce arched stem in clear and deep cobalt blue Murano glass, polished brass hardware, and a hemispherical milk-white shade with a blue rim.

An exceptional and rarely seen iteration of the iconic 'Belboi' table lamp, masterfully crafted by Venini in Murano, Italy, in 1985. While the majority of known Belboi lamps feature a straight vertical stem, this highly collectible variant is distinguished by its dramatic, curved arched stem rendered in transparent and rich cobalt blue art glass. The composition balances substantial Murano glass with polished brass and a striking hemispherical shade of milk-white glass accented by a delicate blue border. When illuminated, the lamp emits a warm, diffused glow that highlights the plastic forms while imbuing the cobalt stem with luminous depth. The glass stem bears the original Venini signature and '85' date engraving. A definitive statement of 1980s Italian design, bridging mid-century craftsmanship with postmodern sculptural sensibility.
