Description from the seller
Authentic and majestic table lamp signed by the prestigious Maison Charles (Paris). A true icon of French design from the 20th century, this characterful piece is ideal for lighting a sideboard, an entry console, or a director's desk.
Inspiration from neoclassicism, its timeless design blends perfectly with vintage, chic, or Hollywood Regency interiors. It is distinguished by a heavy cubical base topped with a superb vase-shaped foot reminiscent of an antique Medici vase. The piece is entirely made of solid bronze and features exceptional chasing work: fluted body and finely guilloché collars.
The lamp's charm lies in its beautiful time-worn patina with golden hues and subtle reflections, a sign of a true antique preserved from excessive polishing.
