Decorative Table Lamp With Two Buckets Balanced On A Ball, France, 1930s

A delightful table lamp with two silver-plated metal seals supporting a large spherical shade.

Mounted on an elegant, signed marble base, the seals are arranged symmetrically facing each other, standing on their hind fins. Their bodies curve inward as they simultaneously raise their fore fins to support the large, smooth white sphere above, almost evoking the weight of the moon.
The seals rest on a dark marble base with light veining, creating a subtle contrast and a refined Art Deco touch. The metallic finish lends them an elegant, Art Deco allure.
This playful yet elegant table lamp is a statement piece that would be at home in an art gallery, boutique hotel, or designer living room/bedroom.
A unique gift for any occasion.

This lamp model won second prize at the 1932 Monaco Rally. An Art Deco masterpiece.
