Description
A gorgeous, hugely impressive and rare rotating Italian designer Mid Century floor lamp with unique Super-Car-colouring in wonderful condition. One of the Mid Century's coolest lamps, this Serpente Lamp was designed by Italian lighting supremo Elio Martinelli and will add a fantastically cool-chic aesthetic, wonderful Space Age styling, superb quality and Ferrari hues to any interior.
Produced by Martinelli's lighting company Luce Martinelli in the 1960s, this is reassuringly heavy at almost 30kg. The base is extremely heavy to prevent it from tipping, and arms are made of curved tubular aluminium and have a beautifully sleek and curving aesthetic, which looks great from any angle and can be adjusted to your liking.
The upper arm rotates 180 degrees in both directions, giving it a snake-like look and its 'Serpente' name, enabling you to adjust it to make it the perfect reading lamp.
It has the original white acrylic mushroom lampshade and the original paint has been stripped and professionally refinished in metallic blue Ferrari paint, which juxtaposes perfectly with the white lampshade and chrome under-base, giving this ultra-cool floor lamp gives a fantastic new lease of life and a unique and very cool, shimmering look - perfect for this sleek and stylish timeless classic.
All in all this is one of the most stylish Mid Century floor lamps ever produced and with its superb Ferrari colouring, it won't fail to be a knockout and impress in any setting. This is in very-good-to-excellent condition. Beautifully constructed from excellent cutting-edge materials, it is structurally sound, was built to last and is in good working order with the floor switch and rotating mechanism both in good working order. It has the original gripping rubber foot pad underneath and has been professionally refinished in Ferrari blue paint, with the only very minor and hardly noticeable flaws being some to-be-expected historic minor scratches to the metal under the paint and a few light scuff marks to the acrylic shade, but overall it's in wonderful condition and if well looked after it should remain so for many more decades to come - please see the photos.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
