This remarkable 20th-century French lamp is a striking example of neoclassical design, blending artistry and elegance with a touch of antiquity. The centerpiece of this lamp is the finely cast gilt bronze sphinx, a symbol of mystery and grandeur, seated gracefully between two faux candleholders. The sphinx is rendered with intricate detailing, capturing the allure and craftsmanship of classical French design.
The base of the lamp is equally impressive, featuring clawed feet that exude strength and sophistication, supporting a platform with a beaded edge detail. The faux candles, designed to mimic melting wax, add an antique-inspired touch while housing functional lighting elements.
Topping the lamp is a pleated fabric shade in a muted green hue, trimmed with a decorative border that complements the overall design. The shade provides a warm and inviting glow, enhancing the lamp’s timeless aesthetic and making it a perfect addition to any luxurious space.
