A French green opaline crystal hanging lamp from the 1940s–1950s, with brass accents, 32 cm wide, 50 cm high (62 cm from hanging point to ceiling), in good used condition and in working order, featuring a modern mid-century Art Deco design.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The lamp rises with a serene and sculptural presence, as if it were conceived to converse with light rather than merely contain it. Its body of dark green opaline crystal unfolds a deep, almost mineral tone that recalls polished jade or hand-blown antique bottles. The surface, softly satin-finished, diffuses the light with a warm, enveloping glow, creating an intimate halo that softens the contours of the space.

The design, faithful to the mid-20th-century modernist Art Deco, combines geometry and sensuality: clean lines, balanced volumes, and an elegance that doesn’t need to boast. The crystal seems cut with the intention of capturing the essence of the era: modernity, discreet luxury, and a taste for well-executed craftsmanship.

Brass details—polished, warm, slightly aged—act as bright accents. They frame the piece with a golden glow that contrasts with the depth of the green, as if the lamp carried with it a small fragment of sun trapped in metal. These fittings not only serve a structural function: they add character, a touch of sophistication that underscores its historical origin and decorative vocation.

In sum, the lamp conveys the sense of an object that has withstood the passage of time without losing its magnetism. It is a piece that not only illuminates, but builds atmosphere, invites contemplation, and adds a touch of classic glamour to any room.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
