French Art Nouveau Figural Sea Nymph Lamp
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:146561 | Style: Art Nouveau |
| Original/Reproduction: Original |
Stunning French art nouveau figural lamp featuring a sea nymph rising out of the tide and cresting on a giant clam shell which forms a dresser tray. There’s an octopus behind her and she holds in her hand what looks to be a flower. The lamp is made from pot metal and the details are sumptuous. The glass shade and its holder are new. The lamp is rather large in size and is a beautiful representation of the art nouveau movement. There is no signature or makers mark on the lamp.
SIZE...: 20” tall by 9 1/2” wide by 9” deep
CONDITION: The lamp is in original, unrestored vintage condition. It has been rewired with braided silk wire and it does function. The socket has only the base and not the sleeve. It was used as is as the glass shade holds the inside of the socket in place. There is light pitting across the surface of the lamp. There are two cracks in the metal, on the back bottom of the base which is unnoticeable and the other on one of the octopuses “tentacle” (you can see it in the photo just below the cord on the rear). Please refer to the photos provided for examples of the items condition.
