Rare Frank Lloyd Wright Lamp Sets New Auction Record During Bidding Battle at Sotheby's

Rare Frank Lloyd Wright lamp sets new auction record for the icon of American design. Auctioneer Oliver Barker brought the architect’s Double-Pedestal Lamp to $7.5 million after a seven-minute bidding battle.

Created in 1903 for the Susan Lawrence Dana House, the lamp distills Wright’s architectural genius into a single, luminous form—like a miniature house rendered in glass and bronze. Only two were ever made; the other remains in the Dana House collection.

The New York Sales continue with the Modern Day Auction on Wednesday, 14 May 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT. Link in bio to discover more. Presented in partnership with Celine.
