Bronze and crystal circular ceiling lamp, Art Nouveau style, dating to 1950–1960, from France; 24 cm wide and deep, 15 cm high; in good used condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
It is a circular ceiling lamp that gracefully blends the solidity of brass with the delicacy of carved glass, creating that elegant and slightly theatrical presence one expects from a well-preserved classic piece. The metal ring, crafted in warm gold, shows soft reliefs, botanical motifs, and small undulations that add depth without tipping into excess. It has that old-style shine that isn't loud, but mature, as if the piece had gained character over the decades.
In the center, the carved glass forms a dome that seems to open like an inverted flower. The cuts of the glass draw leaves, petals, and geometries that capture light and return it in clean glints, creating a very fine play of shadows when the lamp is lit. The central finial, also brass, acts as a small ornamental clasp that unifies the set and gives it a touch of nobility.
The result is a lamp that blends sturdiness and delicacy, perfect for adding a classic and luminous touch to any room. A piece that not only illuminates, but dresses the ceiling with an air of timeless refinement.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
