This stunning Art Deco wrought iron and chrome table lamp is a timeless piece of French mastery and was designed by renowned French metalwork artist Michel Zadounaisky. The classic jumping antelope decor is expertly crafted with hammered wrought iron and chrome, mounted on a rectangular tiered base. It is an exquisite example of Art Deco design and a must-have for any discerning collector. The piece was crafted in France circa 1930. There is no visible designer's mark. Note: We had not taken it off base to see if the signature could be between the base layers.
 
Note: Michel Zadounaïsky (1903–1983), born in Ekaterinodar in the former Russian Empire and later based in Lyon, was an iron sculptor known for treating wrought iron as a true artistic medium rather than a purely craft-based one. Arriving in France in 1916, he briefly studied at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon, then discovered wrought iron in 1920 while working for the Fournet chandelier factory. He quickly mastered both wrought and embossed metal, earning recognition for his precision—so much so that Parisian ironworker Raymond Subes attempted to recruit him, but he declined the offer. Zadounaïsky opened his own studio in Lyon in 1924 and became a key figure in the city's decorative arts. Naturalized in 1948, he continued producing refined pieces for an elite clientele and completed several public commissions, including a bank door in 1950 and an interior door decorated with hammered birds. He worked until his death in 1983.
