“CRANE AND REEDS” FLOOR LAMP, CIRCA 1900-1905
Bronze and patinated metal
Height: 175 cm.
This work, likely of Japanese origin, is a masterful example of the decorative appeal of bronze cranes around 1900, following the Western importation of sacred animals. Impressive in scale and retaining its original patina, our floor lamp is a brilliant illustration of the integration of fauna and flora into a lighting fixture in keeping with contemporary taste.
Other examples of this type of floor lamp are known: one is held in the Gillion Crowet Collection (Belgium), and another, from the Rispal donation (France, 2005), is part of the Musée d'Orsay collections.”
