Francia-made Art Déco lamp with a metal structure and hand-assembled colored glass shade, 23 cm wide, 12 cm deep, and 12 cm high, in good used condition and in working order, dating to 1980–1990, titled Elefante.
Description from the seller
This Tiffany-style modernist lamp, produced in the second half of the 20th century, combines the solidity of metal in its structure with the luminous delicacy of the colored glass at the top. The base and the stem, sturdy and with smooth lines, naturally support the stained-glass shade, which displays a mosaic of warm and cool tones hand-assembled, creating that almost organic effect so characteristic of the Tiffany universe: a light that not only illuminates, but seems to breathe.
The glass, arranged in geometric pieces that fuse with one another, generates a play of transparencies and nuances that changes with the light's intensity, adding depth and an artisanal air that directly recalls modernism. The metal structure, discreet yet elegant, acts as a counterpoint, anchoring the piece and giving it presence without competing with the glass's prominence.
It is a lamp that does not seek to impose itself, but to envelop the space with a warm and evocative light, perfect for creating intimate atmospheres or highlighting a special corner. Its mix of craftsmanship, design, and decorative character makes it a timeless object, capable of fitting into both classic interiors and contemporary environments that value the beauty of handmade work and the expressiveness of color.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
