AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pirouett articulated table lamp.

House founded in Lyon in 1929 by Jean Chavanis.

Created in 1938, this Art Deco model is made of chrome-plated brass and equipped with sunray-etched glass, with a blue celluloid sheet placed between the engraved glass and a rear opaline glass.

The arm slides to adjust the height and can be tilted, the lampshade is orientable.

The base is weighted with cast iron to keep the lamp upright, and it comes with its Pirouett box.

Electrification redone to a vintage look with twisted wiring, the Bakelite switch is period-correct.

Height from 40 cm to 60 cm.

For transport, the glasses will be dismantled to prevent damage.
