French Vintage Green Onyx Table Lamp with Custom Shade

Dimensions: 30” H x 14” W x 14” D

A luxurious vintage French table lamp from circa 1930, carved from figured green onyx as a Neoclassical column adorned with the requisite brass fittings at the capital and base. The striking vintage lampshade is a most unusual shape: its square profile is concave on the sides and chamfered on the corners that shows off the alternating velvet and dupioni silk materials. Gold galloon (or galon) trim defines the top and bottom edges, with thin gold cord draped between the corners from which a small gold tassel hangs. A statement piece for any collector to illuminate a desk or side table, symbolising the worldly taste of the period, merging Empire grandeur with Bohemian decadence. Professionally cleaned and rewired for US electrical using UL-listed components, adding a gold braided cord with in-line switch to control a medium-base bulb.
