Item Details

This pair of lamps with gilded tortoise decor illustrates the whimsical decorative spirit that characterises French decoration of the 1970s. The animal motif — the tortoise, symbol of longevity and wisdom — here becomes a true central element of the composition, treated with sophistication and humour. The use of gilding and animal motifs experienced a true craze in the decorative arts of the 1960s and 1970s, popularised by decorators such as Maison Charles, Maison Jansen or Sergio Bustamante. These creators revisited the classical ornamental bestiary with new freedom, making each piece a strong visual signature. This pair of lamps fits within this tradition. With compact dimensions per lamp (Width: 31 cm | Depth: 18 cm | Height: 40.5 cm), the pair takes its place on a console, a sideboard, bedside tables or framing a sofa, where it brings a precious, slightly extravagant and resolutely decorative note. A pair of strong visual impact whose refined whimsy continues to enchant eclectic and contemporary interiors.
