A wonderful 1925-30 French art deco lamp in wrought iron of excellent quality made for Robj. The nicely forged base holds a colored shade in mottled double layered hand-blown glass with pigment inclusions produced by Daum frères. It is signed Daum Nancy France scratched in the wet glass paste. The lamp is 32,5 cm high (12,8 inches) and the shade has a diameter of 12 cm (4,72"). The lamp is in excellent condition.
It's rewired with new cloth covered twisted cord. For the States Canada or Japan I wired the lamp with an American candelabra base socket and US 2-prong plug.

ROBJ is an anagram for Jean Born the founder of the company in 1908. After the first world war Jean Born together with his business partner Lucien Willemetz had a shop at 3 cité d’Hauteville in Paris selling porcelain figurines and other objects advertised as the ‘Bibelots de Robj’ - robj trinkets. Late 20s Robj opened a second shop at 32 rue de Paradis which later moved to number 51 in the same street. The company commissioned many young designers to design items for their shop. Jean Born died in a car crash in 1922 after which Willemetz continued the company on his own. In the 20s Robj was very popular and a commercial success. The company closed in 1931. Nowadays especially Robj incense burners and table lamps are sought after collectibles.
