About the Item

A sculptural 1980 table lamp by Philippe Jean, featuring a polished brass abstract bird mounted on a travertine pedestal base. Signed and numbered 178/300. The design centers on a highly polished brass abstract bird — a dynamic, upward-sweeping form poised between figuration and modernist sculpture. The silhouette is sharply resolved: a curved wing rising vertically, a pointed tail, and a forward thrust that creates a sense of lift and motion. The surface retains a mirror-like polish, emphasizing Jean’s refined interplay of light and contour. The sculpture is mounted on a square travertine pedestal base with visible natural aggregate, grounding the fluid brass form in architectural solidity. The contrast between warm polished metal and matte stone is characteristic of late 20th-century French decorative lighting, where sculptural presence was balanced with material restraint. Rare in signed and numbered condition, this lamp represents a highly collectible example of Philippe Jean’s limited production work — positioned at the intersection of functional lighting and gallery-scale decorative art. About Philippe Jean Philippe Jean was a French designer active in the late 20th century, known for sculptural lighting objects that blur the line between fine art and functional design. Working primarily in polished brass and stone bases, Jean produced limited-edition pieces characterized by clean modernist lines, stylized natural forms, and a strong emphasis on balance and proportion. His bird-form lamps from the 1980s remain among his most sought-after works, appreciated for their elegance, rarity, and enduring decorative presence.
