Table lamp in hammered iron by Léopold Gest, France, circa 1970.

Table lamp in hammered iron by Léopold Gest, made in France around 1970. It rests on a circular base of wrought iron and features a sculptural structure composed of geometric volumes and a characteristic central ring. The conical shade in stitched parchment diffuses a warm light that highlights the artisanal work of the metal. The whole evokes the creations of Léopold Gest, a major figure in the revival of French decorative arts after the war. France, circa 1970. Good vintage condition, with slight signs of use consistent with age.
