There is a restrained confidence to mid-century French brass work of this kind — a plain, tapered column set on a square footed base, its only ornament a pair of blackened, petal-form corollas encircling the stem, one above the base and one beneath the socket. That kind of controlled contrast, gilt bronze against darkened bronze, was a favored device in postwar decorative metalwork, a way of adding rhythm to a form without any unnecessary flourish. It carries the character of a well-appointed mid-century living room or bedroom, the kind of lamp meant to sit quietly on a nightstand or console, ready to be finished with whatever shade suits the room around it.
Each lamp has a plain, tapered circular column rising from a square, paneled base, with a pair of blackened corolla rings encircling the stem — one just above the base and one just below the socket. The gilt bronze has a warm, even tone throughout, and the ribbed line detailing on the base is echoed in the socket fitting above.
This is offered as a matched pair of lamp bases, sold without shades. They take a standard E14 screw bulb.
