Hi George,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Roger Rougier was a mid-20th-century designer associated with what’s often described as mid-century / post-modern modernism. His design aesthetic was characterized by clean lines, geometric or sculptural shapes, and often an elegant simplicity. Importantly: he embraced modern and unconventional materials — especially plastics/acrylics (sometimes marketed as “plexiglass” or “lucite”), resin, plexiglas shells — as well as metal (frequently brass or lacquered metal) for structure.

This material-forward approach fit well with the aesthetic and cultural zeitgeist of his era (roughly 1960s–1980s), when design increasingly experimented with new materials and forms, moving away from traditional wood/fabric furniture and classic ornamental design.

Rougier lamps are often sculptural — many resemble flowers, shells, or organic/petal-like forms rather than simple utilitarian lamps. They have a distinct glow and ambience: the acrylic/resin diffusers (e.g. shaped like a seashell or flower) softly diffuse light — creating a warm, atmospheric glow rather than harsh illumination.

Other Rougier lamps of this size and style have sold at AUCTION for between $200 and $300 each; it's worth pointing out that lamp retailers or dealers of MCM furniture and design will likely be asking MORE for any they are selling.
