$0
Product Details
This striking French Neoclassical floor lamp from the 1930s features a refined combination of gilt bronze and richly veined onyx stone. The base is adorned with exquisitely cast winged caryatids, each standing on clawed feet and flanking the circular onyx platform with timeless elegance. A fluted column rises from the center, framed by classical bronze details and topped with a custom linen shade that diffuses a warm, inviting glow. The lamp has been newly rewired and fitted with a new shade, making it both functional and visually captivating.
Fun Historical Fact: Caryatids—sculpted female figures used as architectural supports—date back to ancient Greece, but were revived during France’s Empire period and later embraced in 20th-century design to evoke grandeur and classical symmetry.
