Maison Charles, Table Lamp “Agave” 1970s

Exceptional Maison Charles table lamp, model “Agave à gorge”, crafted in richly gilded bronze with its original gilded and patinated brass shade. Designed and produced in France in the 1970s, this sculptural lamp is a superb example of French mid-century modern lighting and the refined bronze craftsmanship for which Maison Charles is internationally renowned.

Inspired by botanical forms, the elegant agave motif is rendered with beautifully contoured leaves and a warm, luminous gilded surface. The original shade, in gilded and softly patinated brass, complements the sculptural base and diffuses a gentle, atmospheric light.

Both decorative and architectural, this vintage French table lamp works beautifully as a statement piece on a console, side table, or desk. Its timeless neoclassical influence and organic modern form make it highly versatile for both classic and contemporary interiors.

Maison Charles remains one of the most sought-after French lighting manufacturers of the 20th century, celebrated for its high-quality bronze work and distinctive sculptural designs.
