Art Deco butterfly lamp or sconce in wrought iron and alabaster by Edgar Brandt (you can read more about the artist below).
Animal sculpture and Art Deco lamp (or wall lamp) decorated with a butterfly in hammered and chiseled wrought iron.
A contemporary alabaster box placed at the back, designed, and produced by Christian Caudron, Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2015* in his Parisian workshop, softly diffuses the light of an LED lighting.
A perfect decorative object to admire while listening to Puccini's "Un bel dì vedremo", the sublime and marvelous aria from one of his favorite operas Madame Butterfly.
The Art Deco sculpture and lamp in hammered and chiseled wrought iron are from the Art Deco period.
This very fine work, be it the animals or the frames too, the finesse of execution and the detailed chasing, testify to an exceptional mastery of ironwork, beautiful craftsmanship worthy of the best ironworkers of the XXth Century such as Raymond Subes, Gilbert Poillerat or Paul Kiss.
Other animals are available: dove, horse, peacock, rabbit, snake and whale.
