A wonderful 1925-1935 French art deco lamp in nickeled bronze or solid brass. In fact what we call bronze or brass nowadays is very precisely defined by the percentage of metals used for the mixture. And the exact description for the "bronze" used for French art deco lamps in the 30s would be to talk about cast solid copper alloy.
The gorgeous richly detailed base holds a Muller shade in clear frosted molded-pressed glass. It is signed Muller frères Luneville. The lamp was made by the Paris France based company in bronze lighting fixtures Cherrier et Besnus. In 1926 monsieur E.Cherrier and monsieur Besnus took over the company of René Massin at 36 rue Amelot street. Massin produced bronze lighting in a neo-classical and art nouveau style. Cherrier & Besnus continued the production of these Massin products as well as introduced new designs in art deco style. They opened a second larger workshop in Choisy. The art deco lamps of Cherrier & Besnus are well made items of excellent quality. The bronze base is stamped with the foundry initials RM (for René Massin).

The lamp has a height of 21,4 cm (8.43 inches) and diameter of 19,5 cm (7.68"). It is in excellent condition. I have re-nickeled and patinated the base. And it is rewired with an American candelabra base socket and US 2-prong plug.
