MONIX
A nice French art deco desk lamp in gilded solid brass or bronze made around 1925-1930.

"Monix" was the brand of Maxime Lokiec. Les etablissements Lokiec was a Paris based company (38-40 rue de la Folie Méricourt in the 11eme  a few doors away from the workshop of Charles Ranc. Almost nothing is known about this company. Here the little I learned searching the public archives and my Monix catalogs. Lokiec was a Jew from Polish origine who in the mid 30s changed his name into 'Loquet'.  He started his company in bronze lighting devices around 1920. The company closed its doors in 1980. In 1922 a patent was registered for a spring braked ball joint which is used in most Monix models. After the war the company modernized (higher production , cheaper made lamps) and made modernist lamps in pressed brass ina rather unpersonal style.

The lamp is about 30 cm high in its highest position. The heavy base has a diameter of 15,5 cm. The bronze base has a cast iron inlay covered by a round metal plate covered with green felt. The finely detailed bronze holds its original gold plating. The lamp is in very good condition given its age. I cleaned it a little and it comes wired with cloth covered twisted cord. Its original zeppelin switch and a new plug. It is wired with a E14 socket. I will add a good quality LED bulb.

Safe packaging guaranteed : As specialized restorer of French art Deco lighting for over 20 years I ship my parcels worldwide with the fragile items well protected and fully insured.
