French design table lamp from the seventies. It is inspired by the eclectic and sumptuous models of Maison Jansen, especially the Palmera lamp. However, the piece is developed with a historicist character of its own. The foot is formed with a plume of pineapple leaves in gilded brass, mounted on a square base in marble veined in shades of green and pearl, decorated with openwork applications in gilded metal. The lamp has three points of light. Above the cylindrical lampshade is a pineapple-shaped knob in gilded brass.

The Palmera lamp is the star piece of Maison Jansen, an icon for lovers of interior decoration. With a proven track record, Maison Jansen has decorated the residences of such important personalities as the Kennedys, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Coco Chanel and the March family. Founded in 1880 by Dutch designer Jean-Henri Jansen (1854-1928), its aesthetics were based on French furniture combined with aesthetic influences from around the world. His most sought-after pieces reflected the influence of antique designs from the Louis XIV, Louis XVI, Directory and Empire eras, as well as objects Jansen found during his travels to Japan and Turkey.
