S. MELANI

DIMENSIONS: Approx. 21" Wide x 14" Tall x 6" Deep
In 1925, France held the "Exposition des Arts Decoratifs" from which the term Art Deco originates. At the same time Josephine Baker was dancing at the Folies Bergère and was the most famous dancer alive at the time.
Her costumes and sensual dances were the toast of Paris, and high society quickly embraced her as a cultural icon.
It was at this time that S. Melani sculpted this masterpiece - a woman on a Canoe rowing. The design was cast and sold by the iconic ARNOVA in Belgium alongside other marvelous Salvatore Melani works!
A blend of grace, sensuality and Deco style all tied together with a historic theme! Melani worked with live models and it shows in the exquisite and beautiful details!
This sculpture is large - over 20 inches wide! It serves as an accent lamp as well with her "fire bowl" illuminating! Very fine vintage condition!
This is truly one of the finest Salvatore Melani sculptures in existence.
For the most discerning and astute collector!
A wonderful addition to your NY penthouse, CA atomic ranch or Palm Beach estate!

This marvelous lotus themed lamp with sculptured metal flowers and leaves in a metal container with a wood base. These are illuminated by a single socket on an adjustable "stem" permitting an inch or two adjustment of the magnificent glass shade which continues the floral theme!
The camed glass shade is green hued when unlit, matching the metal sculptured lotus plant, but transforms to a lovely golden hue when lit, casting a carefully crafted "sunlight" upon the metal blossoms!
Absolutely marvelous in conception and execution!
This lamp is in fine vintage condition with incredible patina to the alloy. The metal was tailored in composition to create a more green-hued, brass alloy, fitting for the lotus leaves! Newer glass shade. Rewire done in the fifties, including cord with inline switch and socket.
This is an incredibly beautiful and rare treasure from a graceful era of thoughtful elegance!
A superb addition to your NY penthouse, Cupertino estate or West Palm Beach mansion!
