AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These two 19th-century quinqué lamps are pieces of great historical and artistic value. They are made of cast metal, probably bronze or brass, with a patina that highlights their age. Each features a cylindrical body decorated with relief scenes that evoke moments from the era, possibly of mythological, religious, or allegorical nature. Human figures are depicted sitting, surrounded by animals and architectural elements, suggesting a symbolic narrative.
Additionally, they incorporate heraldic motifs such as shields and emblems, which could indicate their connection to a noble family or a historical institution. The upper part features an ornate mechanism for regulating the flame, with floral details and curved shapes that complete its refined aesthetic.
These lamps not only served as a source of light but also as expressions of status and culture. Their excellent condition and decorative richness make them unique pieces for collectors or history enthusiasts.
