French commemorative Larousse medallion depicting an Art Nouveau-inspired allegorical female figure releasing dandelion seeds, the reverse inscribed "31 Janvier 1982 – Grand Dictionnaire Encyclopédique Larousse en 10 Volumes – Paris." Mounted with a modern solid brass U.S. lamp-finial adapter, allowing immediate use on standard American harp fittings. Originally issued as a commemorative medallion and thoughtfully repurposed into a distinctive decorative accent for traditional, Art Nouveau, eclectic, or library-inspired interiors. This was purchased at a Paris flea market.
DIMENSIONS: 3"H × 2"W.
CONDITION: Light surface wear, scratches, and oxidation consistent with age and prior use. Presents well and functions properly as a lamp finial.
