"Swordsman and Running Panther, " High Style Art Deco Lamp Base, Copper & Silver
About the Item
An extraordinary example of French dinanderie, or mixed metal artisanry, this Art Deco copper and silver lamp base depicts a bounding swordsman and running panther, the male figure in a dance pose as if taken from a production of the great Ballets Russes. Although the piece is not signed, it is clearly by a master of the art form such as Louis Mergier. The male figure and panther are framed by bold, high style clusters of Art Deco plant forms and geometric figures, all expressed in silver inlaid into the copper ground. Everything has a lovely patina, some of it applied when the piece was made, some acquired over time. The lamp base includes a silver-toned bottom, the post, bulb sockets and finial. (Dimensions are for the base itself; the full height including post and final is 27.5".).

- "Exchange of Cultures, " High Style Art Deco Porcelain Lamp Base w/ Nudes by RobjBy ROBJLocated in Philadelphia, PAIllustrated in "Ceramiche Robj" and considered a major design by the renowned sculptor and ceramicist, this large piece was probably made in early 1930s to coincide with the debut of the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris, which attracted almost 9 million visitors in less than a year. Rare and striking, this porcelain table lamp base depicts the globe surmounted by a tightly composed cluster of nude and semi-nude female figures representing cultures around the world. The women depicted here, all glazed in a gorgeous snow-white glaze highlighted in gold, are clearly representing a range of nations in Asia and Africa, probably coinciding with the nations that were part of the French Colonial Empire in the 1930s, before they won their freedom. Much like the one surviving building from the Exposition, now the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, which features a massive bas relief mural...Category
