Product description
This exceptional Art Nouveau table lamp combines a signed, silver-plated base by the French designer Paul Follot with a vibrant orange Loetz glass shade and a rare engraved dedication to the Art Deco designer Jean Fauré. The sculpted base is cast as a stylized, organic flower with softly modeled petals and a fluted stem—typical of Follot's early work for the Parisian gallery La Maison Moderne, for which he designed luxurious metalwork and lighting around 1901–1904. The relief signature "P. Follot" is clearly visible on the top of the base, while the underside bears several foundry marks and the hand-engraved inscription "Jean Faure," most likely a dedication or ownership mark linking the lamp to the later Art Deco decorator, best known for his Amboyna and Macassar furniture. The tall, elegant stem supports a tulip-shaped Loetz glass shade from the early 20th century in a vibrant orange hue, its slightly opalescent, hand-formed surface creating a warm, atmospheric light. Loetz, the renowned Bohemian glass manufacturer Johann Loetz-Witwe, supplied leading European designers with art glass shades of this type, which are highly sought after today for their quality and sculptural presence. The combination of a signed Paul Follot bronze base with an original Loetz shade clearly positions this lamp in the upper echelons of Art Nouveau lighting and offers collectors a documented dialogue between French decorative arts and Central European glass production. Dating from the early 1900s, this lamp illustrates Follot's transition from the exuberant Art Nouveau style to the calmer, structured elegance that would later characterize his Art Deco interiors for Pomone and other prestigious clients. The finely crafted petals, the understated silvering with its historical patina, and the slender proportions reflect his commitment to "calm architecture" and luxurious, meticulously finished materials. At the same time, the engraved Jean Fauré inscription adds another layer of provenance and narrative, connecting the piece to a decorator whose documented Art Deco furniture is highly sought after in today's market. For collectors, interior designers, and museums, this lamp offers a rare opportunity to acquire a signed Art Nouveau lighting object by Paul Follot, featuring high-quality Loetz glass and a fascinating reference to Jean Fauré—ideal as a focal point on a sideboard, desk, or pedestal. "This lamp is sold in its original condition. A qualified electrician is required to inspect and maintain its electrical safety before use.
His works are held in, among others, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts. His former home is now occupied by the Giacometti Institute. https://marcilhacgalerie.com/artists/133-paul-follot/biography/ https://www.fondation-giacometti.fr/en/event/140/paul-follots-house-on-victor-schoelcher-street
