Description from the seller

Table Oil Lamp in 800 Silver and Worked Glass - Italy, Milan - 20th Century

Refined and important Italian-made table oil lamp, realized with a structure in 800/1000 silver and components in finely worked transparent glass.

The lamp features rich decorative workmanship with a classical taste, including pierced elements, vegetal and ornamental motifs, full-figure (round) designs, and finely chased details.

Particularly elaborate is the central body in silver, characterized by a domed and fluted surface, enriched laterally by decorative figures. The structure rests on a shaped base supported by four ornamental feet.

The upper part is completed by an elegant glass shade/chimney in worked glass, with the characteristic elongated shape and a toothed upper opening. The glass presents matted and faceted geometric decorations that enhance the overall luminosity.

There are also additional components in worked glass and the original elements of the lamp system, as documented in the photographs.

On the metallic structure the punch “800” is clearly visible, certifying the silver fineness of 800/1000, and the Italian silversmith’s mark with initials MI, attributable to the province of Milan.
