Early 20th Century – Napoleon III Revival
This refined pair of turned and polychrome wooden lamps dates from the early 20th century and reflects the enduring influence of the Napoleon III style, reinterpreted with greater restraint during the early years of the Third Republic. The result is a balanced and elegant design, combining decorative richness with a clear sense of proportion.
The turned wooden bases are highlighted by a warm, understated polychromy that enhances the craftsmanship without excess. Each lamp is topped with an almond-shaped green silk shade, recently handcrafted, featuring a gilt interior that softly reflects the light. When illuminated, the lamps emit a warm and inviting glow, ideal for creating an intimate and refined atmosphere.
These lamps are well suited for use on a sideboard, console table, bedside tables or as accent lighting in a living room. Their classic French character allows them to integrate easily into both traditional and eclectic interiors, adding a touch of European elegance.
