About the Item

This exquisite Michel Zadounaisky Art Deco antelope wrought iron and chrome table lamp is a timeless piece of French design. The classic jumping antelope design is expertly hand-crafted with hammered wrought iron and chrome, mounted on a rectangular tiered base. We had to rewire the lamp to ensure it met the standards required in the US. A contemporary shade featuring a faux fur zebra pattern completes this Art Deco light. It is an exquisite example of Art Deco design and a must-have for any discerning collector. There is no visible maker's mark. Note: we had not taken off base to see if the signature could be between the base layers. The table lamp is in excellent condition, with minimal wear due to age and use. Measurements: Base: 9.88 in wide (25 cm) x 4.75 in deep (12 cm) x 12.19 in high (31 cm). The total lamp height with shade is 18.13 in (46 cm). Shade: 9.88 in diameter (25 cm) x 7.07 in high (18 cm). Note: Michel Zadounaïsky, born March 10, 1903, in Ekaterinodar (Russian Empire) and died in La Hauteville (Yvelines) in 1983, was an iron sculptor from Lyon. He is considered one of the few ironworkers to have approached wrought iron as a sculptor and not just as a craftsman. Michel Zadounaisky is the son of Russian emigrants. He moved to France in 1916 when he was thirteen years old. He began his artistic apprenticeship at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon but only stayed there for a few months. The city of Lyon was the center of a prominent aesthetic emulation with the great names of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, such as Sornay, Krass, Linossier, Piguet, and Paulin. He stumbled upon wrought iron work in 1920 when he started working at the Fournet chandelier factory. He also devotes himself to embossed metal, the confrontation with metal with the sole tool of a hammer, and aided by fire, techniques in which he is a master. His know-how and perfectionism are known to the Parisian ironworker Raymond Subes, who made him job offers, which he declined. Four years later, in 1924, he opened his first studio in Lyon and worked there until 1953, when he became one of the emblematic figures of Lyon's decorative arts. Naturalized in 1948, Michel Zadounaïsky continued to create objects intended for a wealthy and enlightened clientele until he died in 1983. He also received public commissions, such as the door of a bank in 1950 or an interior door decorated with birds, where he only hammers the animals. (Credit: Wikipedia)
