Often overlooked, table lamps serve many functions and add a decorative touch to our spaces. 

Their small size and versatility make them easy to place, move around and adapt to any room. 

Functional, they add the final touch to our lighting decorations by providing additional lighting. 

Indeed, we tend to think that the larger the luminaire, the better the lighting and the fewer luminaires are needed. 
This is not the case. 
Harmonious lighting is quite complex and requires a certain creative sensitivity. 

It is small lamps such as table lamps that transform a bright but cold space into a warm and friendly home. 

Aesthetically, these small antique lamps are decorative objects in their own right.
They have always been created to dress with finesse and style.
