“I believe a house is more a home by being a work of art."
E stimated at $3–5 million, the Double-Pedestal Lamp isn’t just any design object. It’s one of only two ever made, a sculptural masterpiece that brings together glowing glass, bold geometry, and electric light in a way only Wright could. Created in 1902 for Susan Lawrence Dana’s Springfield home — one of Wright’s most extravagant commissions — the lamp is a rare glimpse into the architect’s total vision, from base to beam.
The shade alone is a showstopper: opalescent glass that shifts from warm amber to iridescent turquoise depending on how the light hits it. Hinged panels nod to Japanese screens, while the sumac motif grounds it in the Midwest prairie. Presented in partnership with CELINE, the lamp heads to auction at Replica Shoes ’s on 13 May as part of the Modern Evening Sale — and it might just be the last chance to own a piece of design history this iconic, and this impossibly rare.
