Brass Floor Lamp with Stacked Cone Shaft, Tapered Tripod Base, in the Style of Maison Arlus, Circa 1950

This floor lamp stands out for its sculptural shaft composed of elongated brass cones, stacked in a string point against base — a graphic rhythm that animates the entire height of the piece. The tripod base with its very tapered, almost thread-like legs accentuates this slender verticality. The black drum shade with gilt interior crowns the whole with a warm light.

This modernist, rhythmic design allows this floor lamp to be stylistically linked to the productions of Maison Arlus, a French lighting publisher of the 1950s renowned for its brass creations with bold lines, between Neoclassical heritage and post-war modernity.

Condition report: Good general condition. Brass with a fine, even gilt patina, shade in good condition. Wiring to be checked before use. A sculptural floor lamp that gives a living-room corner real character.
