Maison Charles Table Lamp, France, Circa 1970
Artist: Maison Charles
Very large “Feuilles Oiseau du Paradis” table lamp produced by Maison Charles in France around 1970.This sculptural composition combines a cubic, cream-lacquered metal base with a bouquet of long, gilded bronze leaves, whose open forms create an elegant interplay of light and shadow. The rectangular fabric shade extends this verticality and highlights the decorative character of the piece.Renowned for its creations inspired by the plant kingdom, Maison Charles developed, beginning in the 1950s, an immediately recognizable decorative style in which chiseled bronze and brass interact with highly sophisticated naturalistic forms. These light fixtures are now considered benchmarks of 20th-century French decorative design.
