Art Deco Mushroom Table Lamp in Molded Glass 17¾"

Crafted in molded glass, this elegant mushroom lamp exemplifies the Art Deco style of the 1920s and 1930s, with its bold geometric patterns and streamlined shapes. The lamp’s domed shade and matching spherical base are adorned with intricate designs of lines, circles, and stepped motifs that echo the architectural and decorative trends of the period. This design not only reflects the Art Deco fascination with symmetry and modern materials but also balances sophistication with stylized ornamentation.

Although unsigned, this model is likely from the Verlys manufacture in Les Andelys, Normandy. In 1925, the Holophane glassworks located in Les Andelys, specializing in the production of optical glass and lenses for lighthouses and beacons, opened an art glass division under the brand Verlys. The first creations were tinted glass objects, but by 1933, they transitioned to producing molded pressed glass, achieving a level of quality that rivaled the most prestigious houses of the time, such as Sabino and Lalique. It’s no coincidence that Verlys attracted illustrious designers. Holophane ceased Verlys’s art glass production in 1946 to focus exclusively on its industrial division.

The frosted glass gently diffuses light, casting a warm, ambient glow that highlights the lamp's geometric detailing. With a double-lit design—featuring a bulb in both the dome and the base—the lamp produces a layered illumination that enhances the intricate frosted glass patterns and adds visual depth. The blend of frosted glass and precise geometric design embodies the industrial elegance and modernity of the Art Deco movement.

Perfect for a side table, console, or bedside table, this lamp serves as a testament to the artistry and innovation of Art Deco glass and the lasting appeal of Art Deco design.
