Rare 1970s Jean-Claude Mahey table lamp in burl wood with abstract inlay

A rare and highly decorative 1970s table lamp by Jean-Claude Mahey, featuring a sculptural rectangular base veneered in rich burl wood with striking abstract inlay decoration. The composition evokes a stylised landscape with tree silhouette and architectural form, executed in contrasting tones of honey, caramel and deep espresso brown. The glossy lacquer finish enhances the depth of the burl grain, typical of Mahey’s refined French craftsmanship. The lamp stands on a stepped metal plinth, adding architectural elegance and balance. The large warm terracotta fabric shade diffuses a soft atmospheric glow, making this piece both functional lighting and collectible design. Signed at the base. A rare example that perfectly captures the luxurious spirit of 1970s French decorative art. Very good vintage condition with light age-related wear; lacquer surface beautifully preserved; fully working; shade in good condition with minor signs of use consistent with age. Ideal for Hollywood Regency interiors, 1970s inspired spaces, high-end eclectic homes, Art Deco influenced rooms, or as a bold accent in a contemporary neutral interior.
