French Iron Table Lamp, 1950s

$1,800.00

A French table lamp from the 1950s, constructed in iron with an emphasis on line, symmetry, and open space.

The form is defined by forged scrollwork arranged within a rectilinear frame. Twisted iron uprights introduce rhythm and texture, while the scrolling motifs soften the geometry. The darkened patina reveals subtle variation across the surface, preserving the evidence of handwork and age.

Rather than relying on mass, the lamp creates presence through silhouette. Light passes through the open ironwork, casting shifting shadows that emphasize the intricacy of the design. A simple linen shade balances the density of the metal beneath, diffusing light evenly and allowing the structure to remain the focal point.

DIMENSIONS: 10"W x 16"D x 26.5"H

ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS: Height to socket: 17.25"

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1950s

MATERIALS: Iron

CONDITION: In great vintage condition, with a natural patina to the ironwork, consistent with age and use. This table lamp has been professionally rewired by our team of restorationists, and fitted with a newly tailored lampshade. Accepts one E12 candelabra base light bulb.
