Lamp - Brass - Putty

This Art Nouveau-style brass lamp features a decorative and symbolic composition characteristic of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The main body is dominated by the figure of a putto, a nude boy modeled with naturalism, holding a basket of grapes, a classic symbol of abundance and pleasure. This figure rests on a richly decorated base with vegetal motifs, scrolls, and curved legs, all cast in brass with an aged patina that mimics ancient bronze.

The fluid and organic design, with curved lines and floral details, responds to the modernist taste for idealized nature and decorative sensuality. The piece combines function and art: the upper lampshade indicates its use as a lamp, while the sculpture and base reveal a clear aesthetic intention. This type of object was common in bourgeois interiors of the time, where utility and beauty were equally valued.

The choice of the putto and the grape clusters alludes to the Dionysian imagery, very prominent in Art Nouveau, which celebrated life, subtle eroticism, and a connection with nature. The execution suggests a European production, possibly French or Italian, influenced by sculptors such as Clodion or Carrier-Belleuse, adapted to the decorative taste of the Belle Époque.
