AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming and imposing vintage table lamp (height about 58 cm, width about 28 cm, weight 6.5 kg) with the eye-catching feature of a detailed figure of a naked boy (putto/cherub style) sitting absorbed in reading a book. The child sits on a natural base, leaning against an elaborately decorated column with capitals and ornamental motifs, all in a warm, dark patina on metal.
Sturdy rectangular base (dark/marble-like appearance), standard E27 socket on top (suitable for modern LED lamps). The heavy weight (6.5 kg) gives the piece a solid, high-quality feel – typical of vintage figurative lamps from the late 19th/early 20th century with a nostalgic, classic look.
Condition: Good with authentic vintage signs of use (patina, light scratches or imperfections on the surface – see photos). Electrically functional (cord present, tested for shipping). No serious damage; perfect as an atmospheric reading lamp, decorative object, or accent in country, Victorian, retro, or antique interiors.
A unique, story-filled piece: the reading child symbolizes wisdom and youthful curiosity. Ideal for collectors of figurative lighting or charming vintage items – this size and weight make it a real eye-catcher!
