This original Art Deco table lamp from around 1930 takes the form of a figural sculpture of a female tennis player. The green enamelled and heavy metal construction includes a stepped base, spherical metal accents at the lower sides of the circular backdrop, and a chrome shade surround. The female figure wears a dress slip with a bob haircut and holds a tennis racket behind her back, positioned in front of a cream silk screen shade. Stamped with a registration number on the base, the lamp measures 33 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 17.5 cm deep. It functions as a decorative lighting piece and sculpture combined. In a modern interior, this lamp suits placement on a living room sideboard top, where it can provide ambient illumination and function as a focal point. The solid construction and weighty base anchor it securely on flat surfaces. The neutral cream fabric backdrop and olive green finish coordinate easily with a range of interior palettes. It displays well whether switched on or off, bringing a distinct period aesthetic to domestic spaces without requiring a great deal of surface area.

FAQs

Art Deco figural table lamps typically feature stylised human or animal figures, capturing the movement, athleticism, and geometric aesthetics characteristic of the 1920s and 1930s design movement.

These lighting pieces frequently incorporated spelter, bronze, or brass figures with painted or patinated finishes, set upon marble or cast metal bases paired with glass or fabric shades.

Authentic lamps often display period-accurate wiring entry points, heavy cast metal construction, natural oxidisation or age-related wear to finishes, and characteristic period motifs such as geometric stepping.

Position the lamp on a dark wood console table, side cabinet, or desk to serve as a sculpted focal point, pairing it with clean-lined contemporary furniture to accentuate its historic silhouette.

Dust the metal figure and fabric screen gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that could damage original patinas or finishes.
