Description
Discover this impressive mushroom lamp from the Art Nouveau-Art Deco transition period, dating back to the 1920s, a rare piece that embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of French design from the era.
This exceptional light fixture is a marvel of design and craftsmanship, a subtle blend of precisely worked wrought iron and a blown glass shade, creating a soft and warm ambiance.
It is a lamp that would fit beautifully in a refined living room, a characterful office, or even as a centerpiece in a decorative ensemble.
Mounting Details:
The wrought iron base of this lamp is a true testament to early 20th-century craftsmanship.
Its foot, crafted from handworked metal, features a quatrefoil shape that provides both stability and unique beauty.
This carefully forged foot boasts gentle and elegant curves, while maintaining a certain robustness characteristic of furniture and lighting from this period.
The wrought iron has been stripped of its old layers of paint and oxidized metals, then carefully patinated to highlight its authentic appearance while preserving its vintage charm.
Blown Glass Shade:
The dome of the shade is the central feature of this lamp.
Made of blown glass paste, it diffuses a soft and soothing light, ideal for creating an intimate and refined atmosphere.
The handworked glass paste features subtle blends of multicolored tones. Each piece of glass paste is individually blown, giving each shade a unique character and identity. The light emitted is evenly diffused, creating a soft and inviting ambiance in your space.
Monogram:
The shade is signed with an unidentified monogram, a discreet but meaningful mark that indicates the high-end origin of this lamp.
While the artisan or brand is not immediately identifiable, this signature adds an extra layer of authenticity and mystery to the object, serving as a hallmark of quality.
Condition and Functionality:
The lamp is in excellent condition.
The electrical components have been completely updated with modern parts, ensuring perfect safety and functionality while maintaining the original aesthetic.
The metal has been carefully restored, stripped, and patinated to offer a perfect balance between the old and the new.
No significant damage is noted: this lamp has been well-preserved and is ready to integrate into your home immediately.
Dimensions:
Total height: 50 cm
Depth: 33 cm
Width: 33 cm
These dimensions make it an imposing lamp, but still elegant and light enough not to dominate the space. It will add a touch of grandeur while remaining discreet and refined.
A Collectible Piece:
This light fixture, a true work of art, is not only a functional object but also a collectible element. Its design, era, and materials make it a rare piece sought after by collectors of antique furniture and exceptional lighting. Every detail, from the metalwork to the creation of the shade, reflects the craftsmanship of early 20th-century French artisans.
With its noble materials and timeless design, this wrought iron and blown glass mushroom lamp is a perfect choice for those seeking lighting that is both functional and decorative.
Its beauty, quality of craftsmanship, and subtle lighting make it a must-have piece for any collector or enthusiast of high-end furniture.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
