Description from the seller

Authentic and majestic table lamp signed by the prestigious Maison Charles (Paris). A true icon of French design in the 20th century, this characterful piece is ideal for lighting up a buffet, an entry console, or an executive desk.

Inspired by Neoclassicism, its timeless design integrates perfectly with vintage, chic, or Hollywood Regency interiors. It stands out with a heavy cubic base topped by a stunning vase-shaped Medici foot. The piece is entirely crafted in solid bronze and features exceptional chasing work: fluted body and finely engine-turned collars.

The lamp's charm lies in its beautiful patina, gold-toned with subtle reflections, a guarantee of a true antiquity preserved from excessive polishing.

Lot details:
