More than bronze babes playing with petals of metal, femme fleurs represent the unlikely mating of late Art Nouveau styling and early electric lighting. The height of taste to ca. 1914 (and unforgivably tacky thereafter), these delightfully eccentric, shadeless fixtures were often found dancing on tables or--even more implausibly--perching atop staircase newel posts. Femme fleurs could be the scale of a desk lamp or (with proper feeding, perhaps) as large as a child. This lovely lady stands 30" tall and hails from the private collection of Roy Electric Co., specialists in antique and reproduction ceiling and wall fixtures (800-366-3347; www.westfieldnj.com/roy).
