This pair of 1930 Art Deco table lamps exhibits figural sculpture in bronze and onyx with cream fabric shades. The composition includes a young boy dressed as a clown and a female companion carrying a grape harvest, both standing on rectangular onyx bases that illuminate when active. The bronze figures show a dark patinated finish, complemented by pale stone plinths and pale cream flared shades with clean square profiles. Each lamp stands 59 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. These matching light fixtures suit placement on a living room sideboard top or a hallway console table to provide functional illumination and decorative character.

During the 1930s, figural table lamps often combined sculpted metal figures, such as patinated bronze or spelter, with polished marble or onyx bases. These pieces reflected the decorative arts movement of the interwar period, blending utility with sculptural craftsmanship.

Lamps from this era typically feature bases cast from bronze, brass, or spelter, set atop polished stone plinths made of marble or onyx. Shades were often made of tailored fabric, parchment, or moulded glass.

Authentic period pieces display cast metal details with natural surface patination, paired with solid heavy stone bases. Look for period-appropriate wiring entries, original cast details, and signs of wear on the underside of the plinth.

A paired set of figural lamps works well placed symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or matching bedside tables. The sculpted silhouettes provide visual balance alongside contemporary minimalist decor.

Clean the metal figures and onyx bases gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without chemical cleaners. Avoid applying liquid polish directly to patinated surfaces or porous natural stone.
