ALBERT CHEURET
LAMP, c. 1930
Table lamp in silvered, patinated and finely chased bronze, resting on a pyramidal base of pentagonal plan. The polygonal stem is adorned with finely guilloché chevron motifs evoking the textured bark of a stylised palm tree. The shade, suggesting the crown of the palm, is composed of five sculpted alabaster panels arranged at an angle and joined at the apex by a pyramidal finial in silvered bronze, finely chased with overlapping palm-leaf motifs.
H 63 - Diam. 33 cm.
