Table lamp - Wood - carved gold leaf

Shield-shaped table lamp – Hand-carved wood gilded with gold leaf – Baroque style – Italy, late 19th / early 20th century
Fascinating table lamp crafted in the 20th century by reusing an antique decorative element in hand-carved and gold-leafed wood. The base, clearly inspired by Baroque design, features a volute structure with lion-paw feet and a central raised decoration (masque or stylized emblem).

Technical and Construction Details
Base: Made of hand-carved wood with gold leaf finish and bole preparation. The patina of time is evident, giving the piece an authentic historical charm.

Lampshade: Shield-shaped form, covered in damask fabric with raised floral motifs in gold and bronze tones, finished with gold trim along the edges.

Electrification: The lamp was electrified later (mid-20th century). It houses a socket with a faux candle and a decorative filament bulb (included). The wiring is vintage but functional (a technical check for conformity with modern standards is recommended).

Condition Report
The item is in good vintage condition, with normal signs of aging that attest to its originality:

Wood: Small losses of gilding and of the plaster preparation (visible in the photos), typical of antique gold-on-wood furnishings.
Fabric: The lampshade shows some slight wear or staining due to age, which do not detract from the overall aesthetics but add character to the piece.
Structure: Solid and stable.
