Chrystiane Charles for Maison Charles 'Orphee' Large Brass Bronze Table Lamp

About the Item

Chrystiane Charles for Maison Charles rare and very large / tall signed cast brass 'Orphee' table lamp on a burnished patinated metal base. Opulent, ornate and decadent, everything you would expect from beautifully crafted French design. Perfect for any Hollywood Regency home or lover of midcentury design. This piece is signed 'Charles - Made in France'. Very large and huge proportions - a very grand statement piece indeed. Nicely patinated, the piece is in overall very good vintage condition and it is extremely hard to find an original 'Orphee' model lamp from the 1970s. Although the original shade could do with either restoration or replacing. Dimensions: Base to top of shade - 68.5cm Diameter of shade - 56cm Diameter of base - 12cm Original EU wiring, this lamp requires a single E27/E26 light bulb with 60 Watt maximum. We have a collection of original Maison Charles lamps from the early 1970s available in our 1stdibs storefront - just click on the 'see more from seller' banner to be taken to our storefront.

    Maison Charles attributed midcentury vintage pair of French gilt bronze neoclassical lamps centered on ostrich eggs. Stunning craftsmanship with beautifully cast brass elements, the palm leaf details above the powder blue eggs, the acorn final on the lampshade holder, the neoclassical style darting on the bands and legs and the cloven goat hoof feet which sit upon the solid cast brass base. These most beautifully opulent and decadent large table lamps are, unfortunately, not signed with the usual 'Charles - made in France' or 'Charles e fils' stamps. However, we do believe that these were made by Maison Charles based...
