Description: GRAIL! EXTREMELY RARE! Up for auction is one of two MAISON DESNY boudoir/ petite table lamps in silver metal with beautifully faceted cut glass rising from the base. VINTAGE, circa 1928-1930. Used, condition commensurate with age and use. See pics as they are the most vital element of the description. Lamp is marked DESNY MADE IN FRANCE to its underside. In estate fresh condition, with possibly the original plug and cord. They have not been tested, and we recommend rewiring or testing by a professional prior to use. If buying for use in USA, at the very least, the lamp will require at minimum, a special Europe-To-North America plug-in adapter. The price takes into account that it requires rewiring and that no lampshade is provided. MEASUREMENTS: (excluding bulb socket) approximately 5.5” in height. The total height, from base to top of the bulb socket: approximately 7.25”. The base diameter is approximately 3” Note: The other lamp shown in the last photo is complementary to this one, and makes a lovely counterpoint to it. As you can see, the other lamp is slightly smaller, and the glass pieces are different in shape, size and faceting. Priced to sell, at a fraction of any price found on Chairish or 1st Dibs. If interested in buying both lamps, we will offer a special reduction. Please ask any questions prior to purchase. Payment due within 48 hours of purchase. Free shipping within the USA is included. Due to the item’s rarity and value, shipping includes insurance, which will require a signature upon delivery. Please also check our other listings! In the coming weeks, we will be offering several other prized 1920’s - 1930’s Art Deco pieces, including sculptures by ALEXANDRE OULINE, LUCIEN GIBERT, JEAN DE RONCOURT, MAX LE VERRIER, tea/coffee sets from CHRISTOFLE, PUIFORCAT flatware, goblets and cocktail set from Desny, Revere, Lurelle Guild for Kensington, and Chase, modernist paintings, a suite of cubist portraits / lithographs, African and tribal art, as well as a nice selection of furniture — a Machine Age Norman Bel Geddes for Simmons bedroom set, (dressers, bed, vanity / desk), tables and chairs by Wolfgang Hoffmann and Alfons Bach (Royalchrome, Lloyd). Also, a Paul Frankl inspired skyscraper coffee table, and small objects and figurines (Rosenthal, Hertwig Kathutte), as well as a pair of shagreen*/ leather screens custom created for the Baccarat Hotel, NYC. We are also in process of posting nearly a dozen men’s designer pieces (sunglasses, leather shoes, boots, sneakers, jackets, duffel bags, and sweaters) from Prada, Hermes, Cartier, Dolce and Gabbana and Gucci) so if interested, please be certain to check back in the coming days. .
