AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A characteristic and atmospheric French Art Deco table lamp, also known as a veilleuse (night light), dating from the period 1920–1930.
The lamp is a beautiful example of early 20th-century French glass art. The iconic domed shade (obus model) is made of high-quality glass paste (pâte de verre) with a refined, smoky color gradient in shades of white, lilac and soft purple. When the lamp is lit, it emits a particularly warm and diffuse ambient light.
The glass shade rests on an artisanal, hand-forged iron base, decorated with stylized metal leaves. The shade is firmly held in place by the original three-leg armature with functional set screws. Although unsigned, the quality and style are closely related to the well-known French glass ateliers of the period, such as Muller Frères Lunéville and Degué.

Seller's Story
If something moves me, I buy it. It’s that simple, really. Since 2008 I scour here and abroad, always looking for that one object with a soul. Whether it’s an ancient antique piece or modern design: if it radiates craftsmanship and character, I’m hooked. I enjoy giving these finds a new home. Take a look around, and I hope my passion for quality touches you as well.
