French Art Deco Statue Lamp by Balleste

Here is a wonderfully unique statue/ lamp combination. It is done in cold painted cast metal -patinated and all original. The lamp is signed Balleste on the foot of the woman. Very much in the tradition of the famous Max Le Verrier Clarte figurine. The stepped marble base allows for perfect symmetry between this lovely  art deco lady and she reaches out to the world.  Original finish with crackle glass globe covering its bayonet socket. It provides  great accent and ambient mood  light.

Enrique Molins -Balleste was from Barcelona, Spain, but lived and worked in Paris. His sculptures are sometimes signed Molins, sometimes Balleste and occasionally , simply BAL.
