AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Dauphin | Porcelain Table Lamp | Beige, Taupe and Pink | 48 cm

Elegant table lamp from the French brand Maison Le Dauphin, featuring a glossy porcelain base in warm beige, taupe, and rose tones. The vase-shaped base has broad, rounded shoulders and a narrow neck. The subtle vertical pattern gives the finish depth and a refined appearance.

The gold-colored metal connector between the porcelain base and the socket provides a stylish accent. The lamp is labeled ‘Le Dauphin’ at the cord exit at the back and is equipped with the original gold-colored cord with a switch.

The combination of glossy porcelain, soft colors, and gold-tone metal fits nicely in a classic interior, an elegant modern decor, or an interior with Hollywood Regency influences. This eye-catcher is suitable as a decorative table lamp on a sideboard, sidetable, nightstand, or coffee table.

Model and background

It may be the version ‘Regi Beige Base’. A comparable version is described by an antique dealer as about 50 years old. The exact model name and production date of this piece have not been established.

Maison Le Dauphin was founded in 1966 by Maurice Tournu in Saint-Marcellin, France. The company started with lampshades and grew into a producer of high-quality decorative lighting, where classical forms and modern finishes came together. After several corporate phases, the name continued as Ryckaert-Le Dauphin. This company closed its last location in 2021 and was removed from the trade register in 2023.

This lamp is a well-preserved piece with a recognizable brand inscription, a fine shine, and only very light signs of use. A characterful object for lovers of French interior decoration.
