Authentic Art Déco Desk Lamp – “Pirouette” Model – Chromed metal – France,1930s

Authentic French Pirouette articulated desk lamp from the 1930s, a fine example of the Art Deco period. Produced in chromed metal, this lamp combines functionality with the elegant, modernist aesthetics of the interwar years.

Its articulated arm and adjustable shade reflect the spirit of innovation and practicality that defined the era, making it not only a beautiful decorative object but also a highly functional piece of design history. The clean, geometric lines and silver chromed finish capture the essence of Art Deco style — refined, timeless, and instantly recognizable.
