Description from the seller
Portieux Vallerysthal — Antique French Pressed Glass "Dauphin" Table Lamp — Early 20th Century
An authentic antique French pressed glass (verre moulé-pressé) table lamp in the iconic Dauphin (heraldic dolphin) design, produced by the renowned Lorraine glassworks Verreries Réunies de Vallerysthal et Portieux circa 1900–1920.
Originally crafted as a decorative bougeoir (candlestick) as featured in the historic 1907 Vallerysthal & Portieux catalog, this piece was later converted into an atmospheric accent lamp. The sculptural stem depicts a stylized mythical dolphin with satin-frosted molded scales and an arched tail supporting the upper mount, resting upon a stepped, octagonal polylobed base bordered with heavy gadrooned ribbing. When illuminated, the light diffuses softly through the textured glass.
Fitted with an aged brass bulb holder and a classic pleated red fabric shade with dark braided trim.
No chips or cracks. Power switch needs to be exchanged.
Safe shipping guaranteed.
