Description from the seller

## Silver 800 table oil lamp with worked glass - Italy, Milan - 20th century

Refined and important Italian-made table oil lamp, crafted with an **800/1000 silver** structure and finely worked transparent glass components.

The lamp features rich decorative detailing in a classical taste, with **pierced elements, vegetal and ornamental motifs, full-round figures and finely chased details**.

Particularly elaborate is the central silver body, characterized by a convex and fluted surface, enriched laterally by decorative figures. The structure rests on a shaped base supported by **four ornamental feet**.

The upper part is completed by an elegant **glass lampshade/chimney** worked glass, with the characteristic elongated form and a flared top opening. The glass shows smooth, faceted geometric decorations that enhance the luminosity of the whole.

There are also additional worked glass components and the original elements of the lamp’s mechanism, as documented in the photographs.

On the metal framework the **punch “800”** is clearly visible, confirming the silver’s fineness at 800/1000, and the **Italian silversmith mark with the initials MI**, referring to the province of Milan.
