French Art Deco Bronze Lamp LaForge 24 Cranberry Vaseline Uranium Opal Shade
Rare French Art Deco bronze figural lamp, 24 tall, with a LaForge design and period-correct cranberry vaseline uranium opalescent shade. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or flea bites. Professionally rewired with matching bronze UNO socket and new cord. This French Art Deco bronze figural lamp stands an impressive 24 tall and is a striking display piece that combines exceptional sculptural detail with outstanding original presence. The finely cast bronze figure, decorative filigree elements, and period-correct cranberry vaseline uranium opalescent shade work together to create a truly impressive example of early twentieth-century decorative lighting. The shade displays beautiful cranberry opalescence in a floral shape that looks fantastic in natural light, while the uranium content of the underlying vaseline glass produces a vivid UV reaction that makes the lamp equally captivating in a glow glass collection. The bronze components and shade present beautifully with no chips, cracks, repairs, and only a few super tiny flea bites on the shade fitter noted. A previous owner added a threaded adapter at the lamp’s end; however, the modification is clean, secure, stable, and visually unobtrusive. To complete the restoration, I removed the old socket and installed a proper matching bronze 2 ¼ UNO socket that complements the lamp’s original aesthetic and proportions. The lamp has also been professionally rewired with a new cord that is correctly routed through the original guides. It sits squarely with a strong, balanced stance and displays beautifully whether illuminated or unlit. Whether showcased as a French Art Deco figural lamp, a statement bronze lighting piece, or as part of an advanced uranium glass collection, it offers exceptional eye appeal, craftsmanship, and presence. Under both standard lighting and UV light, this remarkable lamp commands attention from every angle. Please review all photos carefully for condition details, operation, scale and UV fluorescence.
