Two Rare French Surrealist Plaster Floor Lamps by Jean-Charles Moreux

Creator: Jean-Charles Moreux
Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
2 plaster standing lamps by Jean-Charles Moreux in a modern neo- Baroque spirit with an Amphora/urn resting on twist form columns. Moreux was a master of the neo-Baroque and surrealism in interior design with his stunning interiors that utilized indoor elements outdoors and outdoor elements indoors. The design of this lamp influenced Jean-Michel Frank's twisting columns utilized in a surrealist interior for Elsa Scaperelli.

There is a single Edison socket enclosed in the urn which shoots light upward. Urns can also detach to become table lamps.

These are priced and sold as individual pieces. The 2 pieces can be sold together as a pair.

Exhibited: Holiday House, New York, November, 2017 (see photos 2 and 3).

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
