AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

In neoclassical inspiration, its timeless design integrates perfectly into vintage, chic, or Hollywood Regency interiors. It is distinguished by a heavy cubic base surmounted by a superb foot in the shape of an antique Medici vase. The piece is entirely made of solid bronze and features exceptional chasing work: fluted body 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 true antique preserved from excessive polishing.
