This substantial French modern lamp features a glossy black lacquered rectangular pedestal base with an abstract gold-toned decoration, set on a stepped brass plinth and topped with a wide curved smoked-metal shade.

The lamp’s clean geometric silhouette is elevated by warm brass details, including the finial, stem, and shade trim. Its sweeping, gently curved dark metal shade creates a strong architectural profile and directs a soft pool of light downward. A sophisticated example of French luxury lighting, this lamp works beautifully on a console, sideboard, desk, or large bedside table.
