DESCRIPTION DU PRODUIT
The tubular brass shaft, slightly tapered and punctuated by rings, carries at its top three curved light arms adorned with finely chased stylised dolphins, each receiving a moulded bobèche. The whole rests on a tripod base with cambered legs ending in crozier scrolls. Large oval shade in black fabric lined with gold diffusing a warm light.
The dolphin, a motif inherited from the French classical repertoire, is dear to Maison Jansen, the great Parisian decorating house founded in 1880, supplier to royal courts, whose tripod brass floor lamps of the 1960s rank among the most elegant models of the genre.
Condition report: Good overall condition. Brass with an even gilt patina, shade in fine condition. Wiring to be checked before use. A sleek floor lamp that will bring verticality and warmth to a living room corner.
