Story
I'm in Belgium again, at a magnificent market in a venerable old square that has seen quite a lot over the centuries. I turn it this way and that, lift it up, barely able to grasp its weight, and don't let go so no one snatches it away from me. It reminds me of the work of René Lalique, with its powerful pressed glass and delicate white flowers. My admiration doesn't escape the dealer, who approaches me with a smile and says, "New on the market. Never been here before. First day." He already knew I wanted this spectacular lamp.

Condition very good!
