Wrought-iron floor lamp attributed to Jean Touret for Atelier Marolles, France, circa 1955. Rare large (140 cm) wrought-iron floor lamp with painted finish. Good condition. Sold without shade. Known to insiders, particularly for his work in sacred art, the work of this artist and craftsman is enjoying a resurgence of interest, correlated with that of craftsmanship. Jean Touret is the subject of a book published by Editions de l'Amateur, which is also making a comeback. Today, there's a real interest. Many galleries abroad and in France are interested in his work and promoting it. This is also one of the reasons behind this book.
