The 'Iris' table lamp, designed by Christiane Charles for the Paris-based Maison Charles in the 1970s, is a testament to high craftsmanship in late French modernism with clear Hollywood Regency influences. Crafted entirely from bronze, the lamp presents a sculptural rendering of an iris in bloom—layered, thick petals and broad leaves unite to form a stable, organic base. The bronze surface glows in a warm gold tone with a satin and subtly matte finish, featuring a softly applied hand patina that enhances the naturalistic detailing and play of light and shadow. Each element, from refined veining to realistic folds, reveals the artisan's mastery and deep understanding of form. The electrical cord is wrapped in a decorative, twisted gold textile, complementing the lamp’s vintage aesthetic. Preserved in excellent collector’s condition, there are no visible modern interventions; minimal signs of use only enrich its period
