Price: 2 006.00 €

Qty:

Halfway between a strange exotic plant and an underwater creature reminiscent of a jellyfish, this magnificent Art Nouveau table lamp is made of bronze and pink glass paste. The model is composed of a cast bronze base representing the leaves of a water lily, on top of which stands a foot full of scrolls that emphasise the underwater inspiration and evoke the feeling of floating on water, decorated with small closed buds. The base is crowned by a beautiful mushroom-shaped shade in pink striped glass paste, held in place by four discreet arms that support the shade. Note the verdigris finish of the bronze, which gives the model an authentic patina. The collection perfectly embodies the romantic aesthetics of Art Nouveau, with its lush vegetation that can be found, for example, on some of the historic arcades of the Paris metro.
Heir to a Parisian bronze workshop that dates back to the 19th century, year after year Lucien Gau continues to demonstrate his exceptional craftsmanship, passed down from generation to generation, in the restoration, conservation and reproduction of lighting fixtures using techniques faithful to the period in which they were created.
Dimensions: 43cm high, 33cm diameter.
The light source is provided by 2 E14 halogen or LED bulbs, to be purchased separately.

Lucien Gau

Sublime classic style lighting, solid bronze and bohemian crystal

Founded in 1934, Lucien Gau is one of France's most prestigious lighting manufacturers. In particular, Lucien Gau designs and manufactures an exceptional range of chandeliers, sconces and candlesticks in the Dutch, Louis XIII, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Directory, Empire and Restoration styles. The manufacture, of exceptional quality, is carried out entirely in France. The craftsmen employed by Lucien Gau work, finish, assemble and patinate solid bronze using the most traditional methods, inherited from a long tradition of excellence. The bronzes are cast in the traditional way: for each model, the craftsmen model the parts of a lamp, a reference copy. For each copy of this model, a sand mould is made into which the cast bronze is poured. The mould, which is broken when it is removed, is used only once. This process gives a unique finesse and allows great freedom of design. Once cooled and removed from the mould, each piece undergoes a long process of finishing: deburring, turning, chiseling fine ornamental motifs, polishing and patinating are all done by hand and require a unique know-how. The most commonly used patinas are old gold, matt tin, bright gold and antique. Lucien Gau's collections include luminaires of great elegance and balanced forms. Whether a masterful chandelier or a discreet appliqué, each model has the same manufacturing quality. Lucien Gau has illuminated many exceptional buildings, castles, ministries and palaces all over the world. Really Beautiful is proud to present such a collection of luminaires of exemplary design and quality.
