Bronze table lamp by Maison Charles (Paris) in Art Deco with Classical/Neoclassical and Hollywood Regency substyles; height 52 cm, width 35 cm, depth 35 cm, in excellent condition, in working order, with shade included.
Description from the seller
Authentic and majestic table lamp signed by the prestigious Maison Charles (Paris). A true icon of 20th-century French design, this distinctive piece is ideal for illuminating a sideboard, an entry console, or an executive desk.
In neoclassical inspiration, its timeless design integrates perfectly with vintage, chic, or Hollywood Regency interiors. It is distinguished by a heavy cubic base topped by a superb vase-shaped stem reminiscent of ancient Medici style. The piece is entirely made of solid bronze and features exceptional chasing work: fluted paunch and finely guilloché collars.
The lamp's charm lies in its magnificent time-worn patina with golden hues and subtle reflections, a guarantee of a genuine antique preserved from any excessive polishing.
