AI-assisted summary

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.
