This French table oil lamp, dating from circa 1890–1900, reflects late 19th-century neoclassical influences with its urn-shaped base and subtly flared, flat foot. Crafted from brass in a warm golden tone with a satin finish, both the body and shade are adorned with delicate, embossed decorative patterns typical of the era. The brass shade is distinguished by colorful glass cabochons in blue, green, and red, while a fringe of green glass beads forms a decorative garland along the lower edge. The lamp features a burner mechanism signed by Guadart, with the original gallery for a glass chimney (not included). The solid construction is evidenced by visible period rivets and joints, and the uniform patina of the brass underlines its authentic character. All decorative details appear original and intact, with only minor signs of use appropriate to its age. The lamp is in very good technical condition and fully functional, bearing only gentle traces of time.This piece resonates with the spirit of the belle époque: the subtle gleam of brass and the jewel-like sparkle of glass cabochons evoke the refined ambiance of Parisian salons, where light filtered through ornate shades to create a sense of intimacy and daily celebration. The beaded fringe enhances the airy silhouette, while the embossed motifs and neoclassical lines tell a story of late 19th-century devotion to detail and artisanal craftsmanship.The lamp could be placed atop a sideboard or occasional table in a living room, fitting seamlessly into both classic and eclectic collector’s interiors.
