Perched inside The Swingin' Door is an Art Nouveau figural lamp. It's the kind of graceful, luminous figure that sculptors of the era named after beloved literary heroines. This one is Mireille: the daughter of a Provençal farmer, heroine of Frédéric Mistral's 1859 epic poem, and muse of Charles Gounod's celebrated opera. A story of forbidden love that moved composers & sculptors.
Dame de la lumière — à table.
On the surface: an elegant French phrase about a beautiful lamp. For those who know: a nod to Mireille's story of forbidden love. For those who really know: a wink at the neighborhood's history. And for everyone: a reminder that dinner's ready.
Printed on a premium tri-blend tee with a soft, vintage feel that only gets better with wear.
