The story

Vintage Maison Charles table lamps use nature as a muse, and this beautiful pair of lamps is a perfect example. They feature a beautiful brass base combined with a striking blue and white bakelite and resine ostrich egg in its center. They are topped with original Maison Charles lamp shades, in good vintage condition, with light wear on them. These shades are made in solid brass, with patinated brass on their body, and polished brass strappings around. These lamps have a beautiful neoclassical and timeless look. Place these lamps prominently in your study, bedroom, or living room for a striking element of timeless French flair. They have been fully restored and refinished, and are found in a great vintage condition. The patina on the shades is really beautiful.

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.
