{"product_id":"pair-of-antique-french-art-nouveau-gilt-39660","title":"Pair of Antique French Art Nouveau Gilt Metal Table Lamps — Whiplash Arm Lamps with Frosted Glass Flower Shades","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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. No maker's mark is visible in the photograph supplied, so the metal is described conservatively as gilt rather than as a specific alloy, and no attribution is made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn plain terms: a pair of French Art Nouveau gilt metal lamps with frosted glass flower shades, no date claimed, each standing about as tall as a bottle of wine, fitted with B22 sockets and rewired for safe, ready-to-use lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: each approx. 32 cm high x 15 cm wide x 23 cm deep (12.5 x 6 x 9 inches) — about as tall as a bottle of wine\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: gilt metal, frosted glass shades\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Art Nouveau, no date claimed\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide — we handle the paperwork, with all import duties paid by us; nothing to settle on delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\nElectrical: fully rewired through our workshop before dispatch, B22 fitting, plug or adapter fitted for the buyer's country, delivered working and ready to use.\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good antique condition; consistent aged gilt surface, glass shades intact as photographed, bases stable\u003cbr\u003e\nLampshade: frosted glass flower shades included as shown\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"US","offer_id":59482061767001,"sku":"LGT-TBL-149","price":1278.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK","offer_id":59482061799769,"sku":"LGT-TBL-149","price":1278.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU","offer_id":59482061832537,"sku":"LGT-TBL-149","price":1278.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8542710880_sgls.jpg?v=1789757961","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/pair-of-antique-french-art-nouveau-gilt-39660","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
