This is a striking original art deco crackled ceramic table or desk lamp attributed to Robert Lallemant, with a very beautiful original French glass shade that looks fabulous when illuminated, and would be great on a desk, cabinet, or nightstand.
Robert Lallemant initially studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, and then received an apprenticeship at the atelier of the Art Potter Raoul Lachenal.In 1926, with the financial assistance of his father, Lallemant purchased a ceramics factory in Paris. He showed his appreciation to his father for this gesture by including his initial T for Theophile with his own R in the mark on his pieces of ceramics. Robert Lallemant, rather than following the training he received with Lachenal for creating artisan one-of-a-kind pieces he wished to embrace the spirit of his time & therefore moved towards industrial production techniques for his pieces.
Robert Lallemant exhibited his work at the Salon des Artistes Decorateurs and was also a founding member of the Union des Artistes Modernes. He ceased his work as a ceramicist in 1933.
