Sculptural Art Deco Table Lamp With Frosted Glass Shade, 1930s
A striking and high sculptural 1930s Art Deco table lamp featuring a frosted glass shade dramatically suspended within a bold circular hammered metal ring. The thick, opalescent glass shade displays a beautiful hand-hammered, cracked-ice texture that diffuses light into a soft, ethereal glow. Crowned by a sharp, faceted black geometric shade cap with angular Art Deco lines, the piece perfectly balances organic form with machine-age geometry. The substantial circular frame, executed in dark hammered metal with warm bronze undertones, encircles the glowing orb like a celestial ring, creating a powerful architectural presence. The lamp rests on a stepped metal base that grounds the composition with rich, natural warmth. This bold, modernist lamp embodies the glamour and innovation of the Art deco period and it equal parts dramatic lighting fixture and tabletop sculpture. Ideal fora library, bedside or as a standout accent in a contemporary interior. Creator: Unknown. Place of origin: France. Date of manufacture: 1930. Period: 1930-1939.
