French 19th Century Gilt Bronze Desk Lamp
Made in France in the 1880s, this large desk lamp is constructed in gilded bronze with an opalescent pressed-glass tulip shade, signed on the shade. The gilded bronze body provides a warm, decorative support, while the opalescent pressed-glass tulip diffuses the light with a soft glow. The signature on the shade adds documentary interest. Lamps of this kind combined fine materials with a practical lighting function, and surviving examples are valued for their decorative quality. Suited to a desk, side table, or console in a study, library, or sitting room, the lamp provides task or ambient light together with decorative presence. Its 1880s date and gilded bronze construction give it strong period character. Suited to both period and plainer modern interiors, the lamp serves as both a functional and a decorative object. As a gilded bronze desk lamp with an opalescent glass shade, it offers period lighting with fine materials and a soft, decorative light.
