Antique French Painted Iron Floor Lamp circa 1900

Looks at the height on this floor lamp - perfect beside a chair for reading. Such an unusual scale on this antique French iron floor lamp circa 1900 along with a wonderful design on all the iron. The solid iron shaft features a ribbon twist design supported on four sides by flat iron ornamented with applied acanthus leaves. The visual shift between the dense iron and the feathery leaves makes a lovely contrast enhanced by the painted finish. Please be sure to enlarge and zoom on the photographs to see the lovely ironwork. This French floor lamp has been rewired for US electricity and fitted with a three way socket for a standard base bulb. We chose a unique shade with four slightly convex sides to complement to decorative nature of the lamp and topped it with a contemporary chrome finial for a bit of modern dash.
