About the Item

Discover this impressive mushroom lamp from the Art Nouveau-Art Deco transition period, dating back to the 1920s, a rare piece that embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of French design from the era. This exceptional light fixture is a marvel of design and craftsmanship, a subtle blend of precisely worked wrought iron and a blown glass shade, creating a soft and warm ambiance. It is a lamp that would fit beautifully in a refined living room, a characterful office, or even as a centerpiece in a decorative ensemble. Mounting Details: The wrought iron base of this lamp is a true testament to early 20th-century craftsmanship. Its foot, crafted from handworked metal, features a quatrefoil shape that provides both stability and unique beauty. This carefully forged foot boasts gentle and elegant curves, while maintaining a certain robustness characteristic of furniture and lighting from this period. The wrought iron has been stripped of its old layers of paint and oxidized metals, then carefully patinated to highlight its authentic appearance while preserving its vintage charm. Blown Glass Shade: The dome of the shade is the central feature of this lamp. Made of blown glass paste, it diffuses a soft and soothing light, ideal for creating an intimate and refined atmosphere. The handworked glass paste features subtle blends of multicolored tones. Each piece of glass paste is individually blown, giving each shade a unique character and identity. The light emitted is evenly diffused, creating a soft and inviting ambiance in your space. Monogram: The shade is signed with an unidentified monogram, a discreet but meaningful mark that indicates the high-end origin of this lamp. While the artisan or brand is not immediately identifiable, this signature adds an extra layer of authenticity and mystery to the object, serving as a hallmark of quality. Condition and Functionality: The lamp is in excellent condition. The electrical components have been completely updated with modern parts, ensuring perfect safety and functionality while maintaining the original aesthetic. The metal has been carefully restored, stripped, and patinated to offer a perfect balance between the old and the new. No significant damage is noted: this lamp has been well-preserved and is ready to integrate into your home immediately. Dimensions: Total height: 50 cm Depth: 33 cm Width: 33 cm These dimensions make it an imposing lamp, but still elegant and light enough not to dominate the space. It will add a touch of grandeur while remaining discreet and refined. A Collectible Piece: This light fixture, a true work of art, is not only a functional object but also a collectible element. Its design, era, and materials make it a rare piece sought after by collectors of antique furniture and exceptional lighting. Every detail, from the metalwork to the creation of the shade, reflects the craftsmanship of early 20th-century French artisans. With its noble materials and timeless design, this wrought iron and blown glass mushroom lamp is a perfect choice for those seeking lighting that is both functional and decorative. Its beauty, quality of craftsmanship, and subtle lighting make it a must-have piece for any collector or enthusiast of high-end furniture. Don’t miss out on this rare item!

Art Nouveau Lamp, Patinated Bronze and Stained Glass, Tiffany style, 1980's
By Tiffany Studios, Louis Comfort Tiffany
Located in VÉZELAY, FR
We are delighted to offer this stunning Art Nouveau style salon lamp, a faithful reinterpretation of the "Hanging Head Dragonfly Shade and Mosaic and Turtleback Base" model created by Tiffany Studios in 1906 and attributed to the renowned artist Clara Pierce Wolcott Driscoll (1861-1944). This artwork is notably displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago. This high-quality piece, made in the 1980s, stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship and high level of execution. It embodies both the refinement of the Art Nouveau style and the timeless elegance of Tiffany creations. Description of the Artwork: Bronze Base: The base of this lamp, made of bronze, is a work of art in itself. It follows the design of the original model, while being enhanced with artistic details that showcase the exceptional skill of the artisans. Nature-inspired motifs, characteristic of Art Nouveau, are finely crafted, with an elegant patina that gives the lamp a sculptural dimension. Base Covered in "Turtleback Shells" / Glass Tiles and Mosaic: The lamp's base features a combination of glass tiles and mosaics, creating a fascinating visual effect. The glass tiles, reminiscent of turtle shells, were used by Tiffany in their original creations, where light passes through the glass pieces to reveal a play of shadows and light embedded in a harmonious composition. The lighting effect is spectacular, especially when the lamp is lit, as the light diffused through the glass elements creates a warm and enchanting atmosphere. Dragonfly Stained Glass...
