MAISON DOMINIQUE – ANDRÉ DOMIN (1883–1962) & MARCEL GENEVRIÈRE (1885–1967) A pair of elegant modernist lamps in silver-plated bronze. Each base, featuring a faceted, truncated cone-shaped step, holds two plates made of very lightly green-tinted glass, beveled and set into side posts that terminate in lampshade supports.

Some silver plating has worn off; there is a slight chip and a chip missing from the upper edge of one of the glass panels, which is not visible once the lampshade is installed. Height: 33 cm – Length: 30 cm – Depth: 10.5 cm Bibliography: - *Art et Décoration* – May 1929. Identical model or variant reproduced on page 129. - Félix Marcilhac – Dominique – André Domin & Marcel Genevrière, 20th-Century Interior Designer and Decorator – Les Éditions de l’Amateur, Paris, 2008.
