About the Item

Cristal Art Illuminated Patinated Brass & Glass Side Table, Italy, 1960s Cristal Art Illuminated Patinated Brass & Glass Side Table, Italy, 1960s. Attributed to the renowned Turin-based manufacturer Cristal Art, this refined illuminated occasional table embodies the company's celebrated mastery of glass, brass, and sophisticated mid-century Italian design. Active primarily from the 1950s through the 1970s, Cristal Art earned an international reputation for producing luxurious furnishings and lighting distinguished by exceptional craftsmanship, architectural forms, and the elegant interplay of polished metal and crystal or glass. Executed in naturally patinated brass with a circular floating glass top, the table is composed of three cylindrical vertical supports joined by a lower brass ring surrounding an illuminated central drum. This balanced geometric composition creates a visual lightness while expressing the precision and restraint characteristic of Italian modernism. When illuminated, the concealed interior bulb casts a warm ambient glow upward through the glass surface, transforming the piece into both a functional side table and an atmospheric light sculpture. The interaction of transparent glass, reflected light, and mellow aged brass produces a dramatic yet understated effect, making the table equally compelling whether lit or unlit. The brass has developed a rich, naturally oxidized patina that beautifully complements the lightly tinted glass top. Clean cylindrical forms, exposed hardware, and meticulous construction reflect the refined engineering and luxurious materials for which Cristal Art became internationally recognized. The company's furnishings are often associated with the sophisticated aesthetic of postwar Italian interiors and are admired alongside the work of leading Italian modern manufacturers of the period. Ideal beside a sofa, lounge chair, or bed, this versatile table functions equally well in Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Minimalist, or Hollywood Regency interiors, serving as both an elegant occasional table and an atmospheric source of indirect lighting. Dimensions Height: 26.75 inches Glass top: 21.5-inch diameter Upper brass platform: 13.5-inch diameter Base: 11-inch diameter Condition Rewired for U.S. use. Accommodates one standard-size bulb. The brass retains an attractive period patina consistent with age and use, enhancing its authentic mid-century character.
