Luxury Pair of Art Deco Bronze And Parchment in a Shape Of Shells, France, 1920s

About the Item

This pair of luxury lamps from the 1920s to 1930s is truly one-of-a-kind. The back plate was lovingly cast in the shape of a shell, and the golden bronze was hand-polished to reflect the light in a warm gold tone. The lamp socket is perfect for E26/27 bulbs, and the power cable is conveniently connected right to the lamp socket. We've lovingly crafted the lampshade from the same luxurious parchment paper that was used in the original, giving it that same classic feel. Just like in the past, it's made from high-quality animal skin. The parchment is decorated with a beautiful brass pattern, which was meticulously hand-sawn to perfection. Even after nearly 100 years, these lamps are still beautiful. It may shoe some signs of previous use because it not a new item. But these little imperfections just make it all the more valuable! You're going to love this pair of wall lamps. They're so unique and beautiful and rare to fine. Imagine having lamps that are so unique, so exquisite, that you can't help but feel a sense of joy just looking at them. They're more than just pretty; they're a symbol of luxury and timeless elegance.
