Large French mid-century crystal two-light floor lamp, attributed to Cofrac Art Verrier, mid 20th c., in the form of an abstract tree, having central brass stem, ending on square brass plinth, observed operating, approx 72"h, 27"w, 11.5"d **Provenance: the contents of a retired Wall Street executive's lakeside compound**

02.05.26 - In my opinion regarding LOT 1169: As described the fixture was observed operating, I note that the lamp is structurally sturdy, close visual examination reveals a few minute fleabites at the edges where segments of the standard meet, also having two chips at these edges (see images), crystal is free from observed hairlines/ fractures, and UV light examination  does not reveal evidence of restoration, the lower segment of the standard appearing slightly off-center from the upper sections, likely original to production, and the metal base displays light patination and spotting
