Flambeau
Designer Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer French
Manufacturer Falize (attributed to) French
This flambeau comes from the dining room designed for the Paris apartment of the engineer Auguste Rateau. The project was overseen by Lévy-Dhurmer, a ceramist who turned to painting and decorating. Each room was conceived according to a unified theme, in this case wisteria, a symbol of welcome. Lévy-Dhurmer entrusted the execution of his designs to a number of highly skilled makers. The bronze-and-alabaster standing lamps were made by Falize Frères, a renowned Paris firm that produced high-end metalwork and jewelry. For more information on the full room, refer to MMA 66.244.1-.25.
