AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The mount in gilded bronze is original: a cylindrical pierced gallery with geometric motifs flanked by two ornate wheels, a collar with a battlement-like pattern, and a base in gilded bronze with a rich rocaille decoration of foliage resting on small feet. A fine example of the Orientalist taste that triumphed in Paris in the second half of the 19th century.
The lamp was electrified long ago (bayonet socket); the original mechanism of the oil-spout is preserved.
Condition: Good overall. Wear and small losses of enamel on the surface, consistent with age (visible in the photos), patina and wear to the gilding of the bronze. Old electrification to be checked/revised before use. Sold as photographed.
