Bordeaux suspension flower Lotus by Robert de Schuytener from the 1980s.

Lotus flower suspension by Robert de Schuytener from the 1980s. It is made up of 12 burgundy lacquered petals with a gold interior bordered by a burgundy fabric trim. Robert de Schuytener is a designer and manufacturer of lighting and decorative objects, best known for vintage and design lamps produced in the second half of the 20th century (1960s–1980s). His name is associated with luminous pieces – table lamps, wall sconces, lamp bases – often signed or attributed to his workshop, with a style that oscillates between vintage modernism and post-war French interior design. He developed a production that circulated in the 1970s–80s, and his lamps are now sought after as collectible items or retro decorative elements. The cord is short but can easily be replaced. It works with a large socket; Note: the varnish/lacquer is cracked in places (visible only up close) and one petal is slightly dented (see last photo).
