A vintage Ayuntamiento lamp in bronze and brass, dating to the early 20th century, with a solid brass body, dimensions 58 cm high, 30 cm wide and 15 cm deep, in good used condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
It's a piece that retains all the institutional dignity of its origin, but now it breathes with a different life. The central, tall, and solemn structure preserves that air of a town hall lamp: a solid brass body, worked with a mix of geometry and symbolism that recalls a public building from the early 20th century, when even utilitarian objects were conceived with a representational vocation. The two pierced frames, with their circular motifs and almost heraldic figures, continue to function as a small visual manifesto of civic craftsmanship.
The transformation into a modern lamp has not erased any of that; on the contrary, the current electrical wiring — discreet, well integrated, functioning without problems — makes the piece a fully usable object without betraying its character. The added lamp holders are distributed logically, respecting the original symmetry, and the whole maintains that balance between the institutional and the domestic, between the memory of a public space and the warmth of a contemporary interior.
It is one of those pieces that do not try to look old: they are. But its electrical adaptation makes them present, alive, ready to continue illuminating, now in a different context, without losing a gram of its aesthetic authority.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
