This exceptional and highly collectible Art Deco sculptural lamp, titled "Lysis" or "Farandole," was created by renowned French artist Pierre Le Faguays (1892–1962), utilizing his pseudonym "Fayral". A celebrated sculptor of the 1920s and 1930s, Le Faguays was known for his elegant, dynamic figures inspired by the ancient Tanagra statues of Greece. This piece was likely produced by the prestigious Max Le Verrier foundry in Paris, with whom Le Faguays frequently collaborated.

The lamp features a graceful female dancer captured in motion, her body displaying classic Art Deco styling. She holds two frosted or molded glass shades with a subtle floral motif that gently diffuse the light, highlighting the verdigris-patinated metal figure. The sculpture is mounted on a beautiful, stepped marble base, a signature presentation for the artist's work.
