Description from the seller

Documented Robj Paris – Rare Art Deco Cat Perfume Lamp / Night Light – Model – 18 cm
Description
A beautiful and rare Robj Paris Art Deco perfume lamp / night light in the form of a seated cat, made of glazed white porcelain.
Dating from the Art Deco period, circa 1920–1930, this elegant piece is a fine example of the imaginative and highly stylised animal designs produced by Robj Paris, one of the best-known French manufacturers of Art Deco porcelain.
The exact model is documented in specialised Robj porcelain documentation under the designation:
“Robj Katze Duftlampe Porzellan signiert / Robj Lampe à parfum chat en porcelaine signée”
The documented example has a height of 18 cm, corresponding exactly to this piece.
The seated cat is particularly attractive, with its simplified geometric silhouette and refined white porcelain finish. Its sculptural character makes it an appealing decorative object even when not used as a perfume lamp or night light.
