Description from the seller
Recent adaptation of a sculptural lamp, made from a neoclassical piece attributed to the French school of the early 19th century. The work depicts a child satyr — a mythological figure associated with the entourage of Dionysus — mounted on a goat, in a dynamic and playful stance. The entire piece is cast in heavy bronze, with a golden patina on the figure and a darker finish on the animal, emphasizing visual contrast and material richness.
The base is made of polished marble, in a classic style, which provides stability and elegance to the overall piece. At the top, the satyr holds an element in the shape of a torch, which has been used as a support for the lighting fixture. The electrical installation, still pending adjustments, includes a double brass socket, visible next to the base, indicating a recent intervention to convert the sculpture into a lamp. It has the plug but the system does not work without rewiring.
This piece combines sculptural and decorative value, and its transformation into a functional object respects the original aesthetics without altering its artistic character. Ideal for classic or eclectic interiors where the fusion of historical art and lighting design is appreciated.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
