The piece includes a sculpted crest, acanthus-leaf finial, and two scrolling candle arms with original early-20th-century sockets and candle sleeves. The green-toned background contrasts beautifully with the gilded relief, reflecting refined Belle Époque design.

A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
