About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This Clichy glass wall light, model "Skyscraper," is an iconic creation of the Art Deco period, produced by Scailmont or Thabur between 1925 and 1935. This piece is distinguished by its stepped, architectural form, characteristic of the modernist style of the time, and by its uranium glass composition, which reacts dramatically under ultraviolet light.
Made of marbled glass in beige and brown tones in natural light, the object reveals an intense green fluorescence when exposed to UV light. The manufacturing technique demonstrates the glassmaking expertise of the early 20th century, offering a rich and complex visual texture. The tiered silhouette is reminiscent of American skyscrapers, a major source of inspiration for designers of this period.
The condition of this piece is remarkable, preserving the integrity of its form and the brilliance of its colors. The smooth surface and architectural details are intact, attesting to careful maintenance over the decades.
This illuminated globe integrates perfectly into an Art Deco or contemporary interior, adding a touch of design history and a fascinating visual element. It will find its place on a console table or sideboard, where its dual chromatic nature can be fully appreciated.
