1920s Rethondes Art Deco Eagle Lamp

September 28, 2008

 1920s Rethondes Art Deco Eagle LampThis arching eagle lamp has a signed shade by Rethondes of Rethondes France, and is signed, while the lamp base is by Charles Ranc, though unsigned.

You can see a signed Ranc base that is identical here. What is shocking is the price differential between the two. The Ebay item to the right is currently in the $200s while the Ranc lamp in Australia is $3,800 US. I know we’re talking about comparing Ebay vs. a retail venture, but that price difference is rather radical.

Regardless of price, the form is quite appealing. More info at the listing while it is still running.

  2. The signature is on the shade, ToJen. You may have a replacement shade.
