Formed by Nature, Finished in Brass: Mid Century Willy Daro Agate Lamp

Willy Daro (Belgian, 1937–2023)
Agate Table Lamp
Belgium, circa 1970s

Sculptural Mid-Century table lamp by celebrated Belgian designer Willy Daro, featuring a natural agate slice mounted within a polished brass structure. The richly banded agate—selected for its organic form and luminous striations—serves as the visual centerpiece, contrasting beautifully with the lamp’s geometric brass base and architectural support.

Daro was known for elevating raw, luxurious materials such as agate, quartz, fossil stone, and brass into bold yet elegant lighting designs. This example reflects his signature balance of naturalism and modern glamour, emblematic of European Mid-Century and Hollywood Regency interiors, and retains its original brass base and fittings.

Materials: Agate, brass
Dimensions: 8.5" L x 6.5" W x 25.5" H
