Description from the seller
This 19th-century wall lamp, made entirely of brass, stands out for its refined hexagonal structure, a design highly valued in decorative lighting of the period. Its faceted body, consisting of six panels framed in metal, creates a balanced and sober play of volumes, where each face adds depth and visual rhythm. The brass, with its warm tone and softly aged sheen, reveals a natural patina that only the passage of time can grant, adding character without detracting from elegance.
The upper part, capped with a small ventilation system and ornamental details, shows the 19th-century artisanal taste for marrying functionality and beauty. The lower end, sleek and slightly pointed, adds verticality and an almost architectural air, as if the piece were part of a historic façade or a stately interior. The glass panes, carefully fitted into the frame, allow light to diffuse clearly, while the motifs engraved on some panels add a delicate and distinctive decorative touch.
Overall, this lamp is a magnificent example of historical lighting: sturdy, elegant, and with a presence that evokes ancient atmospheres, from courtyards and entrance halls to period salons. Its hexagonal design and brass craftsmanship make it a decorative piece with personality, capable of adding authenticity and charm to any space where it is installed.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
