Lucien Gau tulip table lamp in patinated metal with green shade

Lucien Gau Nymphéa table lamp with antique bronze finish and green painted metal shade. The model is composed of a base in the shape of three pretty stacked water lilies in patinated bronze, surmounted by a water lily flower from which the three arms of different sizes and the central stem of the base emerge. The arms also have a water-lily blossom in which is inserted a white sheath imitating a candle, and the three candles are surmounted by a single shade of green painted patinated lacquered metal with a gilded upturned edge and a white interior to reflect the light. Note the small key fixed above the shade to adjust its height, the function of which in the days of real candles was to adjust the height of the shade as the candles burned, or the small bud-shaped seed at the end of the central stem. Height is 55.5cm. Base width is 16.5cm. Lamp diameter 38cm.
