A rare 1935 French art deco table lamp by the famous Paris based company of Georges Leleu (53 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine). He founded the company by the turn of the century. It closed down in the late 30s. The lamp is a globe shaped base in clear frosted moulded-pressed glass. And holds a new handmade fabric shade. 90 Years old fabric shades did not stand the time. I bought lots of small 1930 lamps on French flea markets over the years and never the fabric was in an acceptable condition. So I place good looking new replacements.

The base is signed G.Leleu on the bottom. Similar lamps with glass ball shaped bases are represented on the 1935-1936 G.Leleu poster, see last two pictures. The poster is of course no part of this sale. The total height of the lamp is 38 cm (14,96"). The shade is 30 cm (11,81") wide. And the glass base has a diameter of 17,5 cm. The lamp is in excellent condition. I have rewired it with nice cloth covered twisted cord. It comes with an American standard socket and US 2-prong plug.
