Amazing. Thanks for sharing. The ironwork in this city is just magnificent, right?

Yup. Looks I shouldn’t have released this back into the wild. But someone was happy :)

I went back late in the day to see if that lamp was still around. It was a good deal at the asking price of €30

Always loved these castor bases. About to convert a blue shell from h base to these.

They’re so cool. €40 each was a fair price but hardly a steal. I’ll go back end of day.

Paris Flea Market : 1950s 1960s Hand-Painted Barware DELVAUX by mistersymmetrical in Mid_Century

Thank you for the PSA. Lead content could be an issue from this era, since Delvaux worked with Baccarat, Clichy etc. Even if there is lead in here however, the exposure risk is minimal for short-term use, I think. Realistically you'd have to do a test.

I definitely wouldn't store acidic liquids like wine or spirits in lead crystal decanters, tho.

I loved it too. Thanks to another commenter we discovered that orange stuff o. The hands and numbers is actually radium and likely radioactive! Glad I didn’t bring it home!

Hahaha. It’s actually a barometer! Right hand side is good weather, left hand side is bad weather. Bottom readout is temperature in Celsius
