A French Art Deco floor lamp by Raymond Subes. Comprised of wrought iron, martelé finish, and an alabaster shade this Art Deco floor lamp by Raymond Subes exhibits a wonderfully unique sense of balance within a composition. The alabaster shade of the lamp displays the hallmark color and visual weight of the medium, while its shallow half moon shape and wonderful semi-translucence add an aura of the ethereal, and a seemingly weightless sensibility that is increased as light is dispersed in all directions by it. The martelé iron base of the lamp terminates in eight elegant, stylized legs that beautifully mirror the shape and circumference of the shade, although in the downward orientation, completing and fully balancing the composition.
