Mid-Century French Leather Faux Book Table Lamp with Shade

$425

About

Bring a refined literary accent to a desk, library, or bedside with this distinctive French table lamp, crafted circa 1970. The sculptural base is designed as a stack of faux leather-bound books, richly tooled and gilt-decorated along the spines, celebrating two iconic French writers—La Fontaine and La Bruyère. The warm, time-softened leather patina is complemented by delicate gilt motifs and raised banding, giving the piece both texture and visual depth.
The lamp rises from a square plinth base trimmed with gilt tooling and finished underneath with felt. It has been newly wired to US standards and is fitted with a classic socket and harp, ready for immediate use. The tailored shade adds a clean, understated contrast to the ornate base, making it equally suited for traditional interiors or eclectic, collected spaces.
A charming and intellectual decorative accent, ideal for a writing table, study, or reading nook.
The lamp is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a beautifully aged leather surface and crisp decorative details throughout.
Dimensions: 6.5″W x 6.5″D x 23″H
