Charta Aura Table Lamp by Studio Palatin

Charta aura table lamp by Studio Palatin Handcrafted, limited edition Dimensions: H 75 x D 35 cm Materials: bronze light, 24K gilding, leather black/gold. Charta Nera is the dark, mysterious cousin to the Charta Alba table lamp. The lamp base is hand crafted in solid bronze, patinated black and stands on a polished gold bronze base plate. It is crowned by a handmade black and gold leather shade that sheds a golden light onto the folds of the black sculptural lamp base. This chic and strong piece is truly the “Harley Davidson” of table lamps.
