Gisèle’s story
This acid-etched frosted glass bell shade was discovered one Sunday morning, while strolling through a Lisbon flea market. Between two dusty boxes, its finely chiselled floral motifs and characteristic arabesques were still gleaming — as if it had been waiting for that very moment.
We then carefully mounted it onto a gold brass claw mount, in our Lisbon workshop. And so Gisèle was born — a hand lamp of precious charm, carrying within it all the elegance of early 20th century Art Nouveau.
How to use your Art Nouveau hand lamp
The Gisèle hand lamp can be gently placed on a bedside table or hung from the ceiling as a small suspension, thanks to its 90 cm cord. Need a different length? 9 options are available on request.
Good to know: Every vintage lamp available on our online shop Alfama Chic has its own story. Sourced and assembled with care and passion, our shades sometimes bear the marks of time. Any minor imperfection is of course mentioned in the description.
