Pair Of Art Deco Lamps In Painted Sheet Metal Imitating Wood Burl

An elegant pair of French Art Deco lamps, made circa 1928–1935, crafted from sheet metal painted to imitate burr wood. The particularly refined decoration evokes walnut or mahogany burl, typical of modern interiors between the two World Wars. The curved, architecturally structured bases present a balanced and refined silhouette, characteristic of Art Deco pieces intended for a bourgeois clientele seeking a modern aesthetic without excessive ostentation. The finely executed faux wood finish testifies to genuine decorative skill, far removed from later industrial productions. The lamps retain period electrical components consistent with the era: porcelain sockets and Bakelite push-button switches, all attesting to an authentic pre-war manufacture. A French designer's work, in the style of Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, Dominique, or André Arbus, without formal attribution.
