Electric Edwardian Elegance
This pretty floral style reading lamp casting a honeyed glow across a tabletop is French and made of brass. Featuring its original ruffled glass shade of cream glass, the lamp’s stand is perhaps its most interesting feature. Decorated with vine leaves, the sinewy vine holding the glass shade “flower” is held aloft by a little hand whose fingers grip the vine very tightly. It is very Art Nouveau in its form and design, and has its original Edwardian flex of brown and cream woven cotton.
Private collection.
