A huge "sea snail" lamp - French folk art - 1970s

About the Item

A "sea snail" lamp in the style of French folk art, created in the 1970s, was often crafted using large sea shells as a central element, mounted on a limestone base. limestone is a porous limestone that adds a rustic and natural touch to the design. "sea shell" lamps were popular during this period and were produced in a variety of styles and sizes. The use of sea shell as decorative elements allowed for the creation of unique lamps with an organic aesthetic, often becoming translucent as light passed through the details of the sea shell 's body. It is interesting to note that the design of these lamps was often influenced by the artistic and decorative trends of the time, sometimes reflecting elements of contemporary French folk art. These pieces can now be considered collectibles and are appreciated for their originality and retro aesthetic. perfect condition. Can be US wired on request.
