JEAN-CHARLES MOREUX FOSSIL TABLE LAMP

French designer Jean-Charles Moreux often used fossils in his lamp designs done in the 1930’s. The resulting pieces combine the unexpected, spontaneous and almost magical aspects of fossils– structured yet random, lyrical and poetic in their accidental beauty - with often stark, architectural mountings that are dramatic counterpoints to the irregularities of nature. 31" H x 17" W.
