1920s Cubist-Style Pâte de Verre Pastel Blue Glass Table Lamp

About the Item

A striking 1920s Cubist-style glass table lamp, crafted using the pâte de verre or pâte de verre marmoreen technique in 1920s France, attributed to Clichy. Measuring 42 cm tall with a 25 cm diameter, this geometric lamp embodies a modernist torchiere design with perfectly angled lines. A tall, conical glass shade, crafted from a single piece of pale blue marbled glass, sits atop an angular torch-like base in a minimalist, Cubist shape that echoes Bauhaus principles. Produced during a period when decoration reigned supreme, this lamp defies the intricate detailing typical of 1920s French design. Instead, it offers a unique, one-of-a-kind Cubist aesthetic, showcasing impeccable French glassmaking skill and technique. Both the shade and torchiere base are crafted from pastel blue cased marbled glass, accented with flashes of yellow and royal blue and finished with a matte, acid-etched texture. This piece has been fully rewired and features a nickel-plated lamp holder, white braided cable, and a modern white inline switch. At over 100 years old, the lamp is in remarkable condition for its age, with only a few tiny edge chips on the inner rims of the shade and base. See images for close-up details.
