France, c.1900–1910
Patinated bronze, with wear to the patina; rewired and PAT tested
Signed "G. Dumontet" to the lower coil
A pair of lamps, each cast as a coiled snake rising to open jaws that hold the bulb. Dumontet trained under Jules Franceschi and Alfred Boucher and exhibited at the Salon des artistes français from 1892. She remains little studied; her work is held by the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux and the McNay Art Museum, San Antonio.
Dimensions are for each lamp.
