You are bidding on a black and gilt Flambeau table lamp by Paul Gruer, courtesy of  Chateau Drugs & Gifts. 

While New Orleans artist Gruer's roots are firmly planted in the past, his work is decidedly contemporary. Modern shapes and silhouettes merge with distressed finishes of gold and silver to create 21st century antiques, jewel-like lamps, chandeliers and sconces that add a touch of intrigue to any room.
