Description
Apolline’s story
This mould-pressed glass tulip was carefully sourced in Portugal, from a Lisbon flea market full of hidden treasures. Its frosted glass, adorned with a relief pattern and a delicate wavy green border, evokes the bourgeois interiors of the early 20th century, when Art Nouveau graced even the smallest everyday objects.
We then carefully mounted it onto a gold brass claw mount, finely crafted in our Lisbon workshop. And so the Apolline hand lamp was born — a luminous decorative piece with a floral charm, ready to bring a vintage and singular touch to your interior.
How to use your vintage tulip hand lamp
The Apolline 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.
