Description from the seller
It is a hanging lamp with a bold presence, typical of the neo-Gothic taste that revives medieval forms and combines them with highly elaborate artisanal craftsmanship.
The structure is made of bronze, with a design full of volutes, reliefs, and small details that evoke Gothic architecture.
On the sides appear gargoyles sculpted with expressive force; one is missing, which reveals the point where it was originally attached, but it does not diminish the character of the piece; rather it underscores its age and prolonged use.
The central body consists of a carved crystal reservoir with a geometric pattern that captures light and disperses it with a very characteristic glow.
These crystals are original, something especially valuable in pieces of this type, as they preserve the aesthetic intention and the quality of the initial design.
The contrast between aged bronze and worked glass creates a balance between the robust and the delicate, typical of neo-Gothic lamps intended to bring solemnity and a theatrical note to interiors.
Overall, it is a decorative piece of great personality, marked by craftsmanship, medieval symbolism, and the charm of objects that have endured decades while keeping their essence.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
