Henri Chaumeil Art Deco Ceramic and Chrome Uplight Floor Lamp Torchère, 1930s

About the Item

This beautiful and rare original French Art Deco chrome and ceramic uplight floor lamp or torchère (torchiere) was designed by Henri Chaumeil (1877-1944). It features a tall chromed metal base with three hexagonal poles and a faceted base in shiny chrome and black finish patina. The top of the torchiere has a tall ceramic tulip-shaped shade in green celadon finish glaze with dimensional black ring handles. The inside of the shade has a glossy white glaze finish. Two heavy and thick glass slabs with a faceted design are inserted between the ceramic lampshade and the chrome base. The signature monogram of Henri Chaumeil is visible by the transparency on the underside of the ceramic shade. The floor lamp was rewired to fit US standards. The floor lamp is in excellent condition, with minor wear on the metal. The ceramic has no chip, no crack, and no repair. Measurements: The floor lamp's total height is 67 in (170 cm) - The base is 14 in diameter (35.5 cm) - The ceramic shade alone is 9.44 in diameter (24 cm) x 14 in high (35.5 cm). Note: Henri Chaumeil (1877-1944), France. Trained by his father Aristide, Henri exhibited his works shortly before 1914 at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants. After working during the war in a factory of fire ceramics, he settled down in Moret-sur-Loing and returned to Paris, where he studied at l'Ecole des Arts Décoratifs. Henri Chaumeil took part in the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs, and his fame keeps growing. With the help of his son Paul (1902-1984), Henri Chaumeil achieves a high-quality ornamental and utilitarian porcelain style, thus confirming his perfect mastery of "petit feu ceramics*." * In the "petit feu ceramics," the metal oxides, mixed with fluxing agents, are placed on an enameled earthenware already cooked, which makes it possible to cook the colors at a lower temperature and to obtain nuanced tones that would otherwise burn like roses, gold, or pale green. This decorating technique was used first in Strasbourg, France, in 1749, and most earthenware factories in Europe did the same afterward.
