The elegant composition centres on a large egg-form body, possibly lacquered or enamelled, mounted within a finely cast gilt-bronze structure surmounted by a crown of stylised palm fronds and raised on a turned baluster stem over an octagonal plinth. A discreet key allows the shade height to be adjusted by several centimetres. The bronze has acquired a beautifully mellow patina over time, with minor surface wear and light oxidation that contribute to the lamp's authentic character and decorative appeal. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eInspired by the natural world, lamps like this became a hallmark of Parisian design in the 1950s and 1960s. Designers such as Maison Charles transformed palm fronds, sheaves of wheat, bamboo, and other botanical motifs into striking sculptural lighting, combining refined craftsmanship with the glamour and optimism of the post-war years. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhether placed on a console, desk, or bedside table, this sculptural lamp brings a playful touch of exoticism and understated glamour to an interior. Paired with a simple linen or parchment shade, the elegant egg form and finely modelled palm fronds become the focal point, while the mellow bronze finish complements both classic and contemporary interiors. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eMust be rewired and installed in accordance with local electrical requirements.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 23¾\" high x 8¾\" diameter \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 60cm high x 22cm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54137333449042,"sku":"25069","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC02590_65f95f64-ce42-444f-a37a-53398956da27.jpg?v=1785419906","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/french-gilt-bronze-palm-tree-table-lamp-w-central-egg-form-att-to-maison-charles-c-1960s-233-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
