Each lamp is topped by a flared trumpet-style alabaster shade whose warm marbled veining diffuses light to produce a soft, ambient glow. The shades seat into richly finished gilt brass collars that are worked with stylized foliate motifs and set with small round portrait medallions as decorative accents. The brass mounts rise from a stepped cylindrical shoulder and transition into the base assembly with a measured sense of proportion and refined workmanship. The bases are composed of tiered polished brass arranged in a stacked plinth profile that provides visual weight and reinforces the Art Deco stepped silhouette. A sophisticated interplay of gilt bronze ornament, smoothly finished alabaster, and turned brass elements yields a layered, architectural composition in miniature and rewards close examination. The proportions are compact and deliberate, making the pair well suited for bedside or side-table placement and effective as a matched pair for paired display. Excellent Vintage Condition, these pieces have been rewired to US standards.

France, circa 1930
