Pair of Antique French Art Nouveau Gilt Metal Table LampsWhiplash Arm Lamps with Frosted Glass Flower Shades
Delivered free · US duties paid · Insured
The Art Nouveau decades gave the domestic lamp one of its most distinctive silhouettes: a single sinuous arm, curved like a stem bending under the weight of its own flower, supporting a shade shaped as an open bloom rather than hiding a bulb behind fabric or metal. This pair belongs squarely to that vocabulary — light imagined as something blooming rather than simply switched on.

The Art Nouveau decades gave the domestic lamp one of its most distinctive silhouettes: a single sinuous arm, curved like a stem bending under the weight of its own flower, supporting a shade shaped as an open bloom rather than hiding a bulb behind fabric or metal. This pair belongs squarely to that vocabulary — light imagined as something blooming rather than simply switched on.
This is a pair of gilt metal table lamps, each with a whiplash-curved arm rising from a foliate, acanthus-cast circular base and terminating in a frosted glass shade moulded as an open, ruffled flower — a form typical of French Art Nouveau glassmaking, where naturalistic petal and leaf shapes replaced the straighter lines of the century before. The arm itself carries a raised leaf motif along its outer curve, echoing the botanical theme from base to shade.
They reach us with a consistent aged gilt surface across both lamps, the glass shades intact and undamaged as far as the image allows us to judge, and both bases stable. We pass them on as received, their surface left to show its own age rather than refinished. As a facing pair on a mantel, sideboard, or twin nightstands, they read exactly as intended — a matched set with each stem curving toward the other.
In plain terms: a pair of French Art Nouveau gilt metal lamps with frosted glass flower shades, each standing about as tall as a bottle of wine, fitted with B22 sockets and rewired for safe, ready-to-use lighting.
