About the Item
This exceptionally elegant side table base effortlessly captures the agility and curios alertness of the stylized desert foxes!
Made from patinated bronze this table base is in very good condition with only slight signs of its age and use. (Please note, the glass top is not included in this offer to facilitate safe and affordable shipping).
The table base is undoubtably most akin to a "Table Lamp with Fennecs" designed by Armand-Albert Rateau between 1920 and 1925 as auctioned by Christie's (see lot numbers below) who described it with the following words:
"This deceptively simple design, faultless in its proportions, well illustrates Rateau’s distinctive skill at conceiving elegant, modern artefacts that distill echoes of ancient cultures. [...} This reference to ancient Egypt is underscored in the choice of ‘Fennecs’ or desert foxes to create the supporting bronze base."
French furniture maker and interior designer Armand-Albert Rateau (1882 -1938) became one of the most important designers of the Art Deco furniture and decor movement in France. He is best known for furnishing the apartment of French couturier Jeanne Lanvin in Paris, which was donated by Prince Louis de Polignac to the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris in 1965. The entire apartment is on display there.

Please note:
With a lifetime of stories behind them, our vintage design items come with a bit of character.
Like the best of us, they may have picked up some scratches and scuff marks, acquired patina, and that original shine may have faded a little. And like with most of us, the internal struggles are not always visible to the outside world.
Our second-hand items may not fulfil state-of-the art safety standards and codes in your region. Inner faults may exist that were missed by us. Please always consult with a certified professional before installing any electrical items.
