Art Deco Skyscraper Style Frosted Rose Glass Torchiere w/ Stylized Cubist Detail
A stunning example of French Art Deco design, this torchiere embodies the elegance and modernist aesthetic of the era. Crafted in France circa 1935, the piece features a frosted rose-tinted glass shade, which diffuses light beautifully and adds a warm, luxurious glow to any interior. The dynamic skyscraper-inspired form is paired with stylized Cubist detailing, executed in black lacquer and accented with striking white gilt embellishments.
The harmonious combination of bold geometry and soft organic touches captures the essence of the Art Deco movement, while the sharp contrasts between the lacquer and gilt detailing emphasize its architectural precision. This rare torchiere is as functional as it is sculptural, serving not only as a source of light but as an exquisite statement piece for interiors that value historical sophistication and timeless design. Newly rewired to American Standards, this piece accommodates three candelabra base bulbs achieving up to 180 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
