Description

Bearing a cream coloured lampshade with golden tassels, above a light veined marble tray with an intricate ormolu edge, this exceptional piece was made in France in the late nineteenth century, and embodies the carefree, creative, and beautiful time of the French Belle Époque.

Supported upon a spiraling stem, and a foliate tripod feet with rocaille to the base, the threaded stem holding aloft a bright white marble tray turns into a pure cyclindrical moutns to hold aloft the lamp and shade, and makes a grand, elegant furnishing to a worthy interior.

The Belle Époque was a time of great artistic and creative production in France during peacetime in the 19th century. The market for decorative art flourished in particular, with a host earlier Royal styles seeing a resurgence, incorporated into new designs that combined modernity with Baroque or Neoclassical grandeur, as this fine ware does.
