About this product
Midcentury Belgian Brass Seahorse Table Lamp Circa 1970s
Massive were founded in 1926 in Wilrijk, near Antwerp in Belgium. Originally they produced candlesticks, candelabras, and other bronze objects – but in the 1970s they rapidly expanded and began to produce these intriguing Hollywood Regency-inspired table lamps.
The lamp is currently wired for EU plug sockets, but we can change this if required depending on the buyer’s location. This lamp takes E27 screw light bulbs. Please note that the shades are for display purposes only – however we can point you in the right direction of a suitable shade should you need it, and as you can tell from the photos, this lamp suits either a vintage or modern shade.
Hollywood Regency, sometimes called Regency Moderne, is a design style that describes both interior design and landscape architecture characterized by the bold use of color and contrast often with metallic and glass accents meant to signify both opulence and comfort. It is named for the movie-making industry of southern California as typified by the glamorous homes and estates of the actors and actresses of Hollywood’s “Golden Era“, roughly from the 1920s through the 1950s, and typified by the work of designers such as Dorothy Draper and Billy Haines. The term “Hollywood Regency” appears to have originated with Draper in the 1920s.[1] It remains a current and lively area of design work both inside and outside of southern California.
