The story

This beautiful nickel metal lamp, Ogive model, was designed by Jacques Charles for Maison Charles in 1965. This is arguably the most iconic Jacques Charles design, sculptural, and a true testimony of the Space Age era. The full structure is nickel metal plated, with solid metal all around, the lamp weighting about 35 pounds. This lamp has been fully restored, electrified, and is found in an amazing condition for a sixty years old piece. A truly rare find.

About Maison Charles

Parisian bronze house founded in 1908 by Ernest Charles and later led by his son Jacques Charles. From the late 1950s it became known for lighting in gilt bronze and brass inspired by nature, with models such as the Ananas, Bambou and Lotus lamps. Its pieces furnished elegant interiors worldwide. Collectors look for signed examples, especially the more sculptural designs, in their original patina.
