About the Item

Rare Pair of Art Deco Leather Lamps by Paul Dupré-Lafon for Hermès, circa 1935 This exceptional pair of Art Deco table lamps—crafted by Paul Dupré-Lafon for Hermès—embodies the refined minimalism and rich materiality that define French modernist design. Executed circa 1935, each lamp features a sleek rectilinear form wrapped in luxurious saddle-stitched Hermès leather, accented by nickel-plated bronze hardware. The supple patinated leather and clean architectural lines underscore Dupré-Lafon’s mastery in balancing form and function, creating objets d’art that are both understated and opulent. Comparable examples of these iconic lamps have achieved notable results at major international auction houses. At Christie’s Paris (Design, 2020), a similar pair realized €32,500, while Sotheby’s (Important Design, New York, 2019) saw another set command $40,000. These sales confirm their enduring appeal among collectors of 20th-century decorative arts and luxury design. A rare opportunity to acquire a documented pair from one of the most sought-after collaborations in 20th-century French decorative arts. Ideal for connoisseurs of Art Deco, Hermès collectors, and interior designers seeking a sculptural statement with provenance and prestige. Good condition with minor scuffs to the leather consistent with age. Size: 21 inches high base is approximately 8 ½ inches wide Due to the item's age do not expect items to be in perfect condition and I may not describe every little scratch or spot. Please inquire if you have any doubts. I will be more than willing to give you additional information. Please inspect all images for more detailed information and condition of items, pictures are part of my description. I will provide additional photographs if needed.
