Bronze floor lamp from 1910–1920, in Neo-Gothic style, with gilded bronze, originating from France, 140 cm tall and 36 cm square, not in working order and showing minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
It is a bronze floor lamp from the first half of the 20th century, conceived in a marked neogothic style and crafted with a profusion of decoration that recalls the great medieval temples reinterpreted in a historicist key. The top is crowned by a group of small gargoyles and fantastical creatures that project outward like living consoles, adding drama and a nearly cathedral-like air to the finial.
The central shaft, of strong vertical presence, is articulated by successive tiers of pierced ornamentation and geometric motifs typical of late Gothic. In the middle section there are three mythological figures in relief, arranged around the axis as symbolic guardians. Their stylized physiques and vigilant stance reinforce the narrative and esoteric character of the piece.
The base, wide and stable, features vegetal decoration and tracery that continue the neogothic language of the whole. The lamp has been electrified at some point in its life and, due to its age, requires adjustments and a full rewiring to ensure safe operation.
It is a piece with a strong sculptural presence, ideal for historicist interiors, decorative arts collections, or spaces seeking a theatrical and architectural accent.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
