About the Item
Maison Arlus, a French lighting design company, was founded in the early 20th century by Robert and Jean Arlus. The company quickly gained recognition for its innovative and stylish lighting fixtures, which were characterised by their use of high-quality materials and focus on unique design.
This beautiful wall lamp is attributed to Félix Agostini, a French sculptor and designer who was active in the mid-20th century. His manner of lighting design was abstract and stylised, often incorporating animals or mythological icons. The form of this wall lamp assumes a more minimalist look at first glance, yet is coupled with subtle decorative elements that adds to the uniqueness of the piece. The shape of the shade and pairing of materials creates the overall aesthetic impression, introducing modernism to the classic style of a one-armed wall lamp. The gilt bronze arm that holds the glass shade is reminiscent of a deer’s antler, which further enhances the visual interest of the piece. When lit, the lamp creates an exceptionally atmospheric light, giving the bronze a warm colour. Wall lamps such as this are a timeless example of how simplicity, combined with thoughtful craftsmanship, can result in lighting fixtures that transcend their utilitarian purpose, becoming works of art in their own right. Today, we consider the mid-century era a golden age for lighting design. During these decades, some of the most significant luminaries were created, and remain highly sought-after today.
Over the years, Maison Arlus collaborated with a number of notable designers, including Jacques Biny, Pierre Guariche, and Michel Buffet, and continued to produce a wide range of lighting fixtures that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Brass and Opal Wall Light by Atelier Jean Perzel, France Early 20th century
By Atelier Jean Perzel
Located in Utrecht, NL
From 1920 to 1939, Art Deco revolutionized 20th century architecture and design. The period also gave birth to the Jean Perzel company, which would also make its mark on the world of lighting and design. Jean Perzel’s light fixtures and furniture in both glass and bronze later adorned the world’s most prestigious addresses… from the King’s Court in Belgium to the home of Henry Ford as well as the Rothschild’s family residence. He also conceived the lighting for the League of Nations in Geneva, the Luxembourg Cathedral, the Embassy of Canada at Lahaye, and even the French cruise ship Normandie.
Like all wall lights from the Atelier, this wall light was designed and handcrafted in their workshop located in the heart of Paris. Since each model highlighted the architecture of the place that inspired its creation, the pure lines of Jean Perzel’s fixtures...
