French Art Déco Wrought Iron Table Lamp with Frosted Glass Dome Shade, Rewired, c.1920s-30s

Wrought by hand and crowned with frosted glass, this French Art Déco table lamp is the kind of little luminaire that turns a forgotten corner into a stage. The base is genuine fer forgé, hammered and coaxed into four slender legs that rise from a foliate, ivy-leaved foot to cradle a bell-shaped glass dome above. The shade glows a soft, milky white when lit, its ribbed and beaded surface scattering the light like frost on a winter window. It is unmistakably of the 1920s and 30s, when French ironworkers married industrial muscle to botanical romance, and it has been freshly rewired so it is ready to charm a modern room from the moment it arrives.

Standing a tidy 40 cm tall, it asks for very little space and gives back a great deal of atmosphere. Think bedside table, reading nook, or the quiet end of a sideboard where a warm pool of light is wanted but a chandelier would be showing off.

Styling & Collectors Inspiration

This little iron-and-glass charmer loves good company. For a committed French Art Déco corner, set it beside the Artistic French Wrought Iron Table Lamp with Pâte de Verre Shade and let the two ironwork bases nod to one another across a console. Collectors of period lighting will want to pair it with the 1920s French Art Déco Bronze Lamp with Pâte de Verre Tulip Shades for a study in metal and molded glass, or the Pair of Art Deco Marble and Onyx Lamps with Colorful Glass Tulip Shades for a richer, more decadent palette. If you fancy keeping the hand-forged iron theme going off the tabletop, the Hand-Forged Iron Candle Holder makes a sculptural companion piece.
