Two vintage wall lamps in brass with crystal pendants and a dome of translucent alabaster or marble, in Art Deco style, originating from France and dating to 1970–1980, measuring 30 cm wide, 16 cm deep, and 14 cm high, in good used condition with minor signs of aging and in working order (two objects).
Description from the seller
This exquisite vintage wall lamp is a true work of art in classical lighting, carved from genuine natural stone — alabaster or translucent marble. Far from a common glass replica, the piece stands out for its solid upper dome with sophisticated pleated shell-like detailing, whose organic texture and unique veining tell the story of the rock itself. When lit, the magic of natural stone reveals itself in all its splendor: the material filters the light softly and evenly, emanating a diffuse, warm, and incredibly cozy glow that transforms any space into a realm of pure refinement. The design, strongly inspired by Art Deco and Hollywood Regency, is further elevated by its central structure in polished gold metal, richly adorned at the bottom with stunning faceted crystal pendants that catch and refract light like genuine jewels. This is a highly coveted collectible piece in the antiques market and luxury interior design, perfect for those who value authenticity, timelessness, and the incomparable value of noble materials in decoration.
I do not ship outside Europe.
It will be packaged with great care and shipped with tracking. The tracking will be updated on your Catawiki purchase page; please check regularly to avoid the package being returned to me, in which case the buyer will be responsible for the cost of any additional shipping.
Note on one of the glasses: two marks, one practically imperceptible and the other larger at the bottom; please see the latest photos
