About the Item

A very elegant "reeds" floor lamp produced by the French company LUNEL. The original gilded brass tripod base features three stems surmounted by three original opaline glassworks and 3 brass reeds. The attractive effect of the stalks, which are offset in height, is ensured by the stability of a black marble-effect circular top. This beautiful piece is undoubtedly the creation of René Mathieu, one of their talented designers who was a pioneer in the use of lacquered tubular metal or brass in lighting fixtures, linking it to the modern creative movement in which some of the great French designers such as Marcel Breuer were involved. This luminaire, in perfect condition, is as elegant and refined a design as it was in the 1950s. Period: 20th Century Circa: 1950 - 1955 Dimensions : Height : 134cm - Diameter of the base : 18cm - Width : 48cm Did you know? Self-taught, Raymond Lunel made a name for himself by opening a modest electrical shop on rue Fontaine in Paris's 9th arrondissement, a place where he instilled and promoted his innovative vision of lighting and the art of living.  But it was in the 1950s, with the launch of his "Royal Luminaire" factory in Montreuil, that his reputation really took shape.  Its signature? Hand-crafted luminaires, made from the finest materials and, above all, in limited editions.  His inspiration comes from the world of aeronautics.  The materials used and the curves of the original design are similar to those of aircraft.  This resolutely industrial style attracted the attention of the leading designers of the day, such as Robert Mathieu, who collaborated with Lunel to create a collection of lighting fixtures. The range includes pendant lamps, table lamps and floor lamps.

Mushroom Lamp, Earthenware from Desvres, Gabriel Fourmaintraux, Periode Art Deco

By Gabriel Emile Fourmaintraux

Located in CRÉTEIL, FR

Lovely and rare so-called "mushroom" lamp in Desvres earthenware designed and made by Gabriel Fourmaintraux. Very pretty colorful floral motifs, bronze frame and twisted gold silk thread. Its foot is enhanced with gold fillets and still has these serial labels, numbered 3737 of origin. This rare piece is in perfect condition and has no cracks, and works perfectly. Period: Art Nouveau - Art Deco circa: 1905 -1925 Dimensions: Height: 22cm x width: 13cm. Diameter at the widest shade: 13cm Signed and serial number inside the foot At Desvres, earthenware is a family affair . We devote ourselves to it from father to son, whether we are a worker or an entrepreneur. The history of the earthenware factories of Desvres could know up to five generations of leaders. In addition to its know-how, each pottery had its own tools and artistic heritage (boards, models, moulds, clichés, vignettes, enamel recipes, etc.) which were transmitted over time and contributed to its particularity. Gabriel Fourmaintraux (1886-1984) is part of the fourth generation. Initiated at a very young age in the art of clay, he entered the National School of Ceramics in Sèvres at the age of 16. Released valedictorian, he returned to Desvres with the project of making porcelain. Working with his father from 1906, Gabriel created decorative porcelain items that met with great success and were exported to South America and Japan. The cost of production and the economic context will force him, in the 1930s, to return to earthenware. The Fourmaintraux factory manufactured a wide range of ceramics including lamps, advertising...
