Vintage floorlamp "Praying Mantis" for Maison Rispal France 1950s

This iconic and graphic ‘praying mantis’ floor Lamp was realized by the esteemed Maison Rispal circa 1950 though it is never confirmed that Jean really made the design. In official Rispal historical documents it is mentioned that the design has been inspired by the dynamic form of the insect from which the piece owes its name, it features an arched body that comes to a fine point with an amorphic nodule towards its apex, all realized in ebonized walnut. The lamp rests on three curved and tapered legs. And has the rare and original celloid made hood in orange. This material divides the light amazingly beautiful.
