La Luna "If Galileo had electricity, I would like to believe he'd have two of these in his observatory." Art DonovanWhen I was lecturing at the Oxford University Museum of the History of Science, I couldn't help but absorb the influence of antiquity. This collection of one of kind designs is the result, but we feel that 'La Luna' would be truly miraculous in a thoroughly modern setting.
This pair of hand made, one-of-a-kind wall lamps feature hand painted lampshades that glow in natural tones of a full moon at rising. The posts of the lamps are solid bronze and cast acrylic with the overall height of the lamps being 33". The lamp shade is 13" in diameter and 5" deep with the sides of the shade painted in what we call, "Museum Blue" (textured, translucent tones of burnt umber and phthalo blue). Each of the two Rococo lamp bases are mirror images of each other with slight variations. Signed and Dated by Art Donovan. More views are available by request. (back to our collection)
