ART DECO CHROME, ETCHED-GLASS AND MARBLE LUMIERE TABLE LIGHT
France, circa 1930s | unmarked
Item # 311FWS30K
This
rich decorative table light features a pair of fish floating along in
the ocean surrounded with hints of seaweed and air bubbles, the
decoration acid-etched into one of the two layers of glass. One layer of
the glass is clear while the backing is amber glass to create a warmer
glow.
Two chromed metal spheres on either side of the circular
glass hold the pane in place while a light bulb is installed within the
larger sphere. Light can only escape from a small opening in the larger
sphere, directing that tiny hint of illumination against the glass to
add drama to the fish. The upper hemisphere of the larger removes to
give access to the small light bulb.
The lamp is raised over a
polished Nero Portero marble base and remains entirely original other
than the replaced wiring. A whimsical and delightful lumiere.
Measurements: 10" H x 13" W x 3 1/8" D

SHIPPING
We take shipping very seriously and maintain a fully equipped in-house packing facility to professionally package these important and delicate pieces. All packaging is handled by our staff and will generally consist of:
- Wrapping the item in several inches of heavy-duty bubble wrap with careful attention shown to pressure points, crafting the placement of the bubble wrap in a manner that allows delicate parts of the item to remain out of harm's way.
- The item is then placed into a tight-fitting carton with a void fill of either peanuts, Styrofoam, bubble wrap or a combination of the three to ensure it cannot move within the carton
- That carton is then double-boxed by placing it into an outer carton 2-3" larger on all sides with a dense void fill in the gap [note, paintings are generally not double-boxed but instead have a different packing methodology to properly protect the frame from pressure]
All shipments are guaranteed to arrive safely. We fully insure all shipments and in the event of damage we will handle all of the details around the claims process. You are only required to send along photos, to hold onto the damaged item and all packing materials until the claims process is resolved and we also reserve the right to require the damaged item to be shipped back to us at our expense (a prepaid label will be issued) to qualify for a refund.
