AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Masterpiece of Elegance
This magnificent vintage table lamp perfectly embodies the charm and understated opulence of French decorative arts, while incorporating influences from Italian glassmaking.
A collector's item that will bring warm light and a touch of history to any refined interior.
The lamp is shaped like a vine in patinated black/bronze metal, with intricate detailing on the stem to simulate a twisted vine.
The base is an ornate gilt metal plinth with a floral or rocaille motif, ensuring elegant stability and adding a classic touch.
The centerpiece is the spectacular lampshade, crafted from multiple colored blown glass beads or tassels, assembled to form a lush bunch of grapes.
The glasses display a rich palette (amber, dark green, blue, light, red) that glows beautifully when lit, projecting warm and vibrant colors.
The grapevine is adorned with delicate gilded brass leaves, as well as small decorative Murano glass flowers and leaves (clear, blue, amber).
These refined details, held in place by fine brass wire, lend the piece a poetic realism and exquisite finesse.
Style: Late Art Deco, Mid-Century, with a strong Naturalist inspiration and an influence of artistic glassmaking.
Estimated Period: Mid-20th Century (1940s-1960s).
Condition and Presentation
In good condition with a natural patina of age on the metal.
Variations in color and minor imperfections in the blown glass attest to the authenticity and handcrafted nature of this piece.
This lamp is much more than a light source; it's a true work of art that evokes the bounty of the harvest and the timeless refinement of European design.
The brass wires supporting the glass leaves and pendants will be folded down for careful packaging; simply reattach them gently when installing the lamp.
Carefully packaged and shipped with tracking.
