This elegant pair of French table lamps, crafted circa 1920, features finely carved rock crystal figures mounted on cast bronze bases with neoclassical Greek key detailing. Each sculptural body is shaped as a serene standing figure, likely Guanyin, rendered in translucent natural quartz and raised on a two-tiered brass plinth. The design balances classical symmetry with the subtle individuality of hand-carved crystal, lending quiet sophistication to the pair.
The brass hardware includes straight columnar stems with decorative finials, and the lamps have been professionally rewired for use in the United States with brown cloth cords and black two-prong plugs. The refined scale, warm metallic tones, and crisp clarity of the crystal make these lamps ideal accent pieces for a desk, console, or bedside.
Patination on the brass and minor natural inclusions in the stone are consistent with the age and character of the materials. Harps and shades not included.
