Bronze Muller Freres Art Deco Lamp ca. 1920

Beautiful French bronze Art Deco lamp of a heron looking for a worm in Virginia creeper. This lamp is being sold from France so the shipping may be a bit higher than purchasing in U.S. but if you like the lamp as I do, it won't matter. Bidding starts at $950 and ends on April 18th.

Marcel Bouraine Harlequin Bronze Ivory Lamp

Normally I will blog about Art Deco lamps which are available in the average collectors price range but why not kick off the blog with a $40,000 bronze Marcel Bouraine Art Deco lamp? Apparently another lamp by Bouraine just sold at Sotheby's for $78,000. The particular lamp is very detailed and the colors/patina are still well intact. It appears the glass "shades" are still intact as well. You can read more about the lamp and see additional pictures at the auction listing.

What this blog is about

As with my other blogs www.rarevictorian.com and www.rjhorner.com, I blog about decorative furniture (lamps, in this case) that I run across in my own personal searching. Since I have the information handy anyway, I post it here for others collectors to see. Art Deco lamps are a very recent passion of mine and the "recent" part means that so far, I don't know much. I hope through this blog and my own collecting I will expand my knowledge and communicate with others with a similar passion.
