Brass and Bronze Floor Lamp with Tripod Base, France 20th Century

About the Item

French design is generally characterised by simple, elegant forms that embraced timeless beauty with impeccable quality. The 20th century era marked a significant period for modern lighting design, with models that were often made with industrial materials. French designers had a way of mixing neutral colours and carefully chosen materials with varied textures to create a distinctive an alluring style. This floor lamp is a prime example of this sentiment, featuring a sleek and minimalist metal structure. Through the combination of brass and bronze, the maker managed to create a sturdy body which stands out through its own adornments. Not only is the lamp’s pole decorated with bamboo-like ridges along its length, adding textural and visual interest, but the metal body showcases a beautiful patina. Due the nature of the metal, time leaves its mark on this piece, adding unique charm and character through the passage of time. The tripod base is both minimalist, evoking the clean lines and geometric sensibility of the period, as well as functional, offering stability. The light, when diffused through the off-white fabric shade, casts a warm and inviting glow, creating an ambiance that is both timeless and comforting. The shade stands out in its own right thanks to its textural pleats. This contrast between materials - the polished metal and the soft fabric - creates a dynamic yet balanced aesthetic that is characteristic of the era's emphasis on harmonious design. Light yet grounded, refined yet effortlessly classic, this lamp’s balance reflects the broader design trends of 20th century France. This floor lamp epitomises the blend of form and function and represents a perfect addition to an interior. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The shade is a later replacement. Dimensions: 18.5 in Ø x 62.99 in H 47 cm Ø x 160 cm H
