Argy-Rousseau's near-unique ability to gracefully soften the starkness of Art Deco design without ever sacrificing the strength of the design is on full display in this remarkable, petite masterpiece. The spherical lampshade showcases a repetitive pattern of stylized beach Evening-primrose in various hues of green, blue, and purple. These blooms are artfully arranged in concentric circles against a sandy backdrop. Argy-Rousseau found inspiration for this design during his vacation in the coastal paradise of Royan. Among the undulating dunes of Royan, the delicate morning glory flowers gracefully open their petals in the warm morning sunlight. The lamp's iron base is adorned with radial engravings on its circular foot and features four legs resembling fern fronds, which provide support for a ring holding the lampshade.
