This table lamp was made in France around 1930 and combines elements of Modernist and Arts and Crafts design. It features a solid oak base with an integrated light switch and carved detailing that forms small recessed areas, suitable for placing writing instruments or other small objects. Oak was widely used in French furniture of the period for its durability and suitability for detailed woodworking. The copper shade is made using the repoussé technique, in which the metal is shaped by hand from the reverse side to create surface relief. This method reflects Arts and Crafts traditions that valued craftsmanship and manual production. The lamp provides directed light and was likely intended for use on a desk or side table.

Condition
The copper shade shows some signs of age and use, which is in line with the age of the table lamp being from the 1930s. The solid oak base can be freshened up more when preferred.
