Eclectic table lamp “Athena”, a patented design created by Georgia Jacob in the 80s. In the rare and more difficult to find green color. Athena is one of the versions in the series Coqueluche and Ophelie lamps. It comes with the iconic draped lampshade that creates a beautiful and warm ambient glow. In conjunction with the marble base, the light green color lampshade made of resin to look like fabric (it even has a linen-like texture) adds vintage charm and elegance to any room. It is in good condition, a French vintage piece, with some signs of age (see photos. Some scuffs, some discoloration) but overall still lovely and very clean. The switch is located on the cable, it works with a small screw-in bulb (not included). When lit, it diffuses a very soft, subdued light. Athena lamp appears in contemporary art and music, like the video of the song “Un jour je marierai un ange” by Pierre de Maere 2022. It has a Euro standard plug and works outside EU with the included US adapter. Approximate measurements: Tall: 16 1/2″ Wide: 9″ Thanks for viewing my post!

Handmade bird sculptures created by Danish artist Jacob Hermann in the 1950s 1960s. These vintage collectible showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of Danish design from that era, with a unique piece that is sure to appeal to collectors of retro and mid-century decor. The bird statue is a charming and eclectic addition to any collection, representing the creativity and quality of Danish manufacturing in the 1950s and 1960s. I believe the smaller one is rosewood. Birds are in excellent vintage condition. Dimensions: Tall Bird is 9″ Tall and the small one is approximately 2.5″ if not taller. They will be packaged with the upmost care and insured. Please reach out if you have any questions.
