VenmoVintage Large 44" Art Nouveau Figural Table Lamp - After H. Moreau (As-Is / Project Piece)
Selling a massive, beautiful vintage Art Nouveau style figural table lamp depicting a romantic French pastoral scene of a young man and woman with a harvest basket. This is an incredibly detailed, substantial statement piece standing at 44 inches tall. It is being sold As-Is as a restoration project or a gorgeous rustic decor piece.
ConditionFunctional:
The lamp fully works! It turns on and off exactly as it should.
Wiring: Appears to have its original vintage wiring. It is functional, but given its age, you may eventually want to rewire it for modern safety compliance.
Cosmetic Flaws: It has a broken and chipped nose on the main female figure. There are a few other small surface chips throughout the bodies and base.
Overall Cleanliness: It is dusty and dirty from long-term storage and will need a gentle, detailed cleaning.
Note: Shade is included as pictured.
Dimensions Height: 44 inches Width: 11 inches Depth: 11 inches
History & Age
This lamp is a mid-century (circa 1950s–1960s) American revival piece. The design is directly cast "after" the famous 19th-century French Renaissance and Art Nouveau sculptures by Hippolyte François Moreau (H. Moreau). During the mid-20th century, companies like the Continental Art Company, Pieri, and Florence Art mass-produced these grand European-style statue lamps out of chalkware or plaster composite to bring old-world Parisian elegance into mid-century American living rooms.
How It Was Aged
The age of this piece was determined by a few distinct historical clues:
Material and Wear: The specific way the statue has chipped on the nose and base reveals a dense plaster/chalkware composition underneath the metallic paint. This is standard for 1950s–1960s decorative lamps, whereas late-1800s originals were cast in heavy zinc alloy (spelter) or bronze.
Scale & Utility: Integrating a classical 24-inch French salon statue into a massive 44-inch functional electric household table lamp is a textbook design signature of mid-century lighting manufacturers.
Hardware: The style of the socket cluster and the thick, stiff original insulation on the cord are typical of mid-20th-century manufacturing.
