This Art Deco table lamp from 1930 stands 50 cm high, 32.5 cm wide, and 16 cm deep. The piece comprises two cold painted gilded metal female figures with stylized drapery, supporting a spherical amber glass shade with dark veining. The dancers stand on an oval marble base that contains a small white push-button switch near the front edge, and a thin electrical wire extends from the back of the base. The figures exhibit lightly age-worn gold paintwork, and the entire structure is fully working. Suitable for placement on a sideboard top or desk in a home today, this lamp provides both functional illumination and decorative presence. The figures arch backward with outstretched arms to elevate the glowing globe, creating a balanced silhouette characteristic of Art Deco glamour. The amber and gold colour scheme coordinates with various interior palettes while serving as a focal point in a living room, study, or hallway.

FAQs

Art Deco figural lighting combines classical form with modern geometric abstraction, often featuring stylized female figures, dancers, or athletic forms. These lamps emphasise symmetry, streamlined silhouettes, and decorative glass or globe diffusers.

Original pieces from this period were commonly constructed using cast bronze, spelter, or brass with gilded or patinated finishes. Bases were frequently made from solid marble or onyx, paired with frosted, flame-formed, or marbled glass shades.

Authentic Art Deco lamps display Period-appropriate wiring entry points, original switch mechanisms, and casting marks or foundry stamps. Natural surface wear on the gilding and natural veining within the stone base also indicate authentic period construction.

A figural table lamp functions effectively as a focal piece on a dark wood sideboard, marble fireplace mantelpiece, or glass desk. Pairing the warm glow of the glass globe with contemporary neutral tone walls highlights the sculptural outline.

Dust the gilded metal figures regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent dust accumulation. Glass shades should be removed and cleaned with warm water, while marble bases require mild soap and immediate drying to protect the polished surface.
