French Art Nouveau - Lamp - Brass

1900s French Art Nouveau Lamp – Beaded Fringe & Embossed Brass Floral Shade with Cabochons

An exquisite French Art Nouveau lamp from the early 20th century, featuring original period elements creatively assembled into a unique and elegant lighting piece. This refined lamp reflects the ornate beauty and craftsmanship of the Belle Époque era with a subtle touch of upcycling charm.

The embossed brass shade showcases graceful floral motifs, typical of the Art Nouveau style, enriched with coloured glass cabochons in amethyst, amber, and sapphire tones. A cascade of delicate glass beads and rods forms a shimmering fringe that enhances the lamp’s decorative allure when illuminated. The fluted and finely detailed base, while antique, was added later, resulting in a harmonious yet non-original pairing of shade and base—an artistic combination of authentic elements from the same period.
