Forged in southern France, circa 1780, the wrought iron lamp base exemplifies the craftsmanship and artistic flair of the period. The fixture stands on three intricate scrolled feet, characteristic of the Rococo style popular in France during the 1700s. The wrought iron material, known for its durability and malleability, allowed artisans to create detailed and ornate designs. The turned stem is topped with a single light with new wiring, and dressed with a metal bobeche. The floor lamp is further equipped with a on and off foot switch for easy use. The Louis XV style fixture is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a rich rusty patinated finish; the aged patina and elegant curves highlight its historical significance, making it a valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of antique French decor. Use it next to your favorite chair to read the paper or a book. Shade not included.
