Jean Perzel desk lamp, nickel-plated and patinated, 1940s.

Very beautiful desk lamp, model 516, designed by Jean Perzel in 1936 and produced until the late 1950s. Our example dates from the 1940s. Its base is made of nickel-plated metal, and its shade, in an elegant patinated verdigris, is adorned with an opaline glass band. An iconic creation of the designer, this lamp is also a timeless classic of 20th-century design, combining elegance and modernity, and showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the Atelier Jean Perzel. It will fit perfectly in an Art Deco or Mid-century style office. Fully cleaned and restored, electrified, this lamp is in superb condition, with a very beautiful patina. Signed Perzel on the base.
