Sculpted in plaster, this illuminated figure embodies the elegance and optimism of interwar design, where advertising objects were crafted with the same artistic ambition as decorative sculpture.

The piece features a stylized standing figure beside a bowl‑shaped light element, its softly glowing glass evoking flowing water; a poetic reference to Vichy’s celebrated thermal sources. The base bears the inscription “Vichy Source de Beauté”, reinforcing its original promotional purpose while adding historical charm. The sculptural lines, draped forms, and gentle posture reflect the refined aesthetic of the Art Deco era.

Light signs of use and a few small traces of age are present, consistent with its material and history, and contribute to the authenticity of this collectible object. Both decorative and atmospheric, it serves beautifully as a statement lamp, a piece of brand history, or a sculptural accent in an eclectic interior.
