This striking oak floor lamp, crafted in France during the 1940s, is executed in the distinctive style of Charles Dudouyt, a celebrated French designer known for his sculptural furniture and lighting. The piece embodies the rustic elegance and bold craftsmanship that defined Dudouyt’s work, blending traditional joinery with a modern, architectural sensibility. The lamp’s turned oak stem features a repeating diamond-pattern carving, giving the column a dynamic rhythm and tactile depth. This geometric motif is both decorative and structural, catching light in a way that enhances the natural grain of the richly patinated oak. The base is solid and circular, providing excellent stability while maintaining the piece’s strong sculptural presence. In keeping with the spirit of Dudouyt’s designs, the lamp celebrates the natural beauty of wood. The oak is finished to highlight its warm tones and visible grain, bringing a sense of organic authenticity to the piece. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the crispness of the carved facets to the smooth transition of the turned elements. Measuring 150 cm (59.1 in) in height with a base diameter of 40 cm (15.7 in), the lamp is both substantial and well-proportioned, making it an ideal statement piece in a variety of interiors. Whether placed in a rustic, modernist, or eclectic setting, it brings a sense of French mid-century character and understated luxury. The lamp retains its original wiring and bayonet fitting, both in good working condition, offering authenticity while remaining fully functional.
