Edgar Brandt(attrib) Art Deco Wrought Iron and bronze Floor Lamp with original alabaster Dome Shade. We just started to look over this big lamp for the tiny signature, but have yet to find it
Edgar Brandt Style Art Deco Wrought Iron and bronze Orient Floor Lamp w/ original alabaster dome Shade. Circa 1925 Trained in the Ecole Professionnelle de Vierzon, he set up an ironmongery in Paris. There he created gates, balustrades, floor lamps and chandeliers in bronze, hammered wrought iron and steel for grand houses and ocean liners. His style was typical for the period with cone-fires, branches, fruits, and even birds and human faces.
After the WWI, he created the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier under the Paris Arc de Triomphe. He participated in the famous Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs* de 1925 in Paris, making the monumental gate of the exposition and participating in the Hotel du Collectionneur of Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann.
Then his style changed a little, including more geometric forms and purer patterns. He opened a gallery in New York and another one at the Boulevard Malesherbes in Paris. He created for embassies, hotels and liners. All the rich and famous wanted and paid for his works . He was awarded the title of Knight of the Legion of Honor, and received the Medal of Honor for Applied Art by the Societe des Artistes Francais.
70" High x 24" Diameter Shade
