AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Louis XIII style floor lamp

Hand-carved Solomonic column · Solid wood · No shade included, to be chosen by the customer

This floor lamp features an imposing Solomonic column, a hallmark of the Louis XIII style, where architectural sturdiness and sculptural ornamentation combine to create pieces with a striking visual presence.

✦ Distinctive features

• Hand-carved Solomonic column
The twisted shaft, worked with artisanal precision, adds dynamism and a sculptural effect that catches the light and casts elegant shadows. This type of carving, inspired by early Baroque, was highly valued in 17th-century French furniture and in its later reinterpretations.
• Solid wood with a warm finish
The piece is made from deep, uniform-toned wood, with a polish that enhances the grain and underscores the quality of the material.
• Classic tripod base
The lamp rests on a base of three curved feet, a stable and decorative design that complements the verticality of the column.
• Electrical system visible at the top
The lamp is presented without a shade, allowing the customer to choose the style that best fits their decor: from a classic fabric shade to a more contemporary option that contrasts with the historic structure.

✦ Presence and style

The combination blends the sculptural strength of the Louis XIII style with the modern functionality of a floor lamp. It is a piece that stands out on its own and adds character to any room, whether a classic living room, an office, or a reading nook with personality.

Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
