AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of table lamps, pairing the charm of floral decor with the warmth of gilded brass. Each lamp features a gracefully arched stem, evoking a flower bent under the weight of its corolla, supporting a spherical globe. Broad repoussé brass leaves gently envelop the globes, while further leaves unfold along the stems and at their base, creating a particularly harmonious botanical composition.
The molded circular bases ensure a handsome stability for the set. The contrast between the warm glow of the gold metal and the satin-white globes lends these luminaires a refined decorative presence, as appealing when off as when lit. Their sculptural silhouette and remarkable symmetry allow them to be placed on either side of a bed, on a console, or on two side pieces of furniture.
The two lamps have retained their patina, with slight traces of oxidation and wear on the brass, characteristic of their age and visible in the photographs. They also retain their cables, switches, and vintage electrical outlets.
Height of each lamp: 35 cm. The two luminaires are in working order, their operation has been checked. Given the age of the electrical installation, a professional inspection is recommended before prolonged use.
Condition to report: a small crack is present at the top of the globe of one of the two lamps, near its fixing, as shown in the close-up photograph. It does not compromise the decorative presentation of the set.
