About the Item

Large French Mid-Century Clock Lamp by Jean-Pierre Ryckaert, Paris, circa 1950. This striking large clock lamp was designed by Jean-Pierre Ryckaert in Paris, circa 1950, and is a rare example of refined French mid-century decorative design combining sculpture, function, and craftsmanship. Executed in wrought iron and leather, the piece embodies the postwar French aesthetic, where artisanal materials meet elegant, architectural forms. The clock features a beautifully decorated leather dial, harmonizing perfectly with the leather accents and the sculptural wrought-iron structure. The overall composition is both bold and sophisticated, making this piece a strong statement as a table lamp, desk lamp, or sculptural accent in a modern or eclectic interior. The clock is in good working order and the lamp is professionally wired for your country (US, UK, EU, Australia, etc.). LED bulbs can be used, ensuring compatibility with contemporary lighting standards. The lampshade shown in photos is optional and for display purposes only, allowing flexibility in styling. Measurements (without shade): Height with socket: 53 cm (21 in) Width: 23.5 cm (9.25 in) Depth: 19.4 cm (7.6 in) Height with shade as shown: 73 cm (28.7 in) About Jean-Pierre Ryckaert Jean-Pierre Ryckaert was a French designer and metal artist active in Paris during the mid-20th century, particularly around the 1940s–1950s. He is best known for his distinctive lighting and decorative objects that merge wrought iron craftsmanship with leather and functional elements, such as clocks and sculptural lamp bases. His work reflects the transition from Art Deco to early Mid-Century Modern, characterized by clean lines, balanced proportions, and a strong emphasis on handcraftsmanship. Ryckaert’s creations were typically produced in small quantities and often custom-made, making surviving examples particularly desirable today. His works are appreciated for their timeless elegance, sculptural presence, and high-quality materials, placing him among the notable yet discreet figures of postwar French decorative arts. This clock lamp is a compelling collectible for enthusiasts of French mid-century lighting, artisan metalwork, and functional sculpture.
