AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of sculptural lamps in gilded bronze - Georges Mathias for Fondica - France, c. 1985–1995.
Rare pair of table lamps designed by the French sculptor and designer Georges Mathias for the Fondica manufactory, France.
Each lamp features a vertical sculptural structure inspired by vegetal forms, composed of stylized leaves, branches and fruits. The asymmetric base extends organically to form the body of the lamp, entirely executed in cast metal with a gilt finish.
The work combines an organic and sculptural language with postmodern, Brutalist and Hollywood Regency influences, characteristic of Fondica's French decorative production during the 1980s and 1990s.
Both pieces bear the molded signature “Mathias”, the “FONDICA FRANCE” mark and an additional casting mark on the bottom.
