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 characterful piece is ideal for illuminating a console, an entryway console, or an executive desk.

Inspiration is neoclassical, and its timeless design integrates perfectly with vintage, chic, or Hollywood Regency interiors. It is distinguished by a heavy cuboid base topped by a superb vase-shaped Pedestal Medici-inspired foot. The piece is fully crafted in solid bronze and features exceptional chiselling work: knurled body and finely guilloché collars.

The lamp’s charm lies in its beautiful gilded patina with subtle highlights, a guarantee of a genuine antiquity preserved from excessive polishing.
