Crafted in France around 1925, this exquisite lamp combines black lacquered metal and wood, showcasing a striking juxtaposition of materials that is characteristic of the Art Deco movement.

Adnet’s design philosophy sought to harmonize utility with artistic expression, making this lamp an ideal representation of this ethos. It invites admiration from collectors and design enthusiasts alike, reinforcing the notion that the objects we surround ourselves with can enhance our environments in both form and function.
