Rare and exceptional pair of table lamps, right and left, known as Flambeaux à trois lumières and forming pendants. The feet, featuring branches and buds of the Titre type, are in original gilded bronze. The bulb covers, featuring a blooming flower and two flowers before full bloom on each fixture, are made of aniseed-yellow blown-molded glass shaded with amber and finely cold-engraved. Art Nouveau period. Wear and alterations to the gilding of the bronze feet, re-electrification of the two lamps. On the right-hand torch: two accidents and missing parts and two hairs (one very long) on the larger bulb cap (flower in full bloom), a crack from bottom to top and two hairs (one long) on the middle bulb cap. On the left-hand torch: five hairs (approx. 2 to 3cm) on the largest bulb holder (flower in full bloom), a few tiny chips (pinheads) around the perimeter of the other two bulb holders. Each glassware signed DAUM Nancy with the Cross of Lorraine, engraved towards the base. Each lamp: Height: 85cm - Length: 35.5cm History: Originally part of an entire decoration by Louis Majorelle for the mansion of a relative who was a great personality in Lorraine.
