These lamps embody the maison’s celebrated blend of natural inspiration and refined craftsmanship, drawing on the timeless motif of the ear of corn (épi de maïs) as a symbol of abundance and elegance.

Each lamp is cast in solid bronze of exceptional quality, with finely detailed leaves and corn husks that demonstrate the sculptural mastery for which Maison Charles is renowned. Over time, the bronze has acquired a gorgeous patina throughout its life, only increasing its depth, warmth, and ambiance. A testament to both its age and enduring beauty.

The pair is completed with new custom-made black lampshades with gold interior, which create a sophisticated contrast against the rich tones of the bronze. The shades lend a contemporary sharpness that allows the sculptural bases to remain the focal point, while ensuring the lamps integrate seamlessly into both classic and modern interiors.
