AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Masterpiece of Liberty-era Atmosphere: Bronze Sculptural Lamp in Black Marble signed P. Troubetzkoy – Rare for Collectors
"Splendid and sought-after specimen dating to the Liberty Revival period (second half of the twentieth century). The lamp was expressly conceived and cast in a foundry as a native art object, faithfully revisiting the famous early-century sculptural model by master Paolo Troubetzkoy."
The History and Poetics of the Work "An artwork of rare elegance that captures the very essence of the Belle Époque. This superb desk lamp is not a simple lighting object, but a sculpture designed to fuse light with the plasticity of bronze.
At the center of the composition we find the figure of a young woman, caught in a moment of intimate and magnetic daily life as she braids her hair. The sinuous pose and the flowing dress that seems to move in space celebrate the ideal of romantic femininity typical of the Liberty movement. The bronzes modeling, vibrant and rich in reflections, bears the unmistakable signature of master Paolo Troubetzkoy, returning that 'impressionist' effect that made the sculptor famous worldwide.
To crown the statue, a sumptuous petal-shaped lampshade in artistic glass in the Tiffany style diffuses a warm, soft, enveloping light. Every detail, from the solid base in veined black marble to the perfect insertion of the stem integrated into the casting, testifies to the absolute refinement of this high-class living-room piece."
Technical Sheet and Valuables Details
Total Dimensions: Height 70 cm | Width (diameter of the lampshade) 40 cm.
Materials: Artistic bronze casting on an imposing and heavy base in precious veined black marble.
Signature: Bearing the prestigious signature P. Troubetzkoy incised on the metal base.
Rooted in Foundry: Object of exceptional craftsmanship; the passage of the electrical cable is integrally embedded in the bronze casting, preserving the absolute aesthetic integrity of the sculpture.
Era: Liberty Revival period (second half of the twentieth century, circa 70s/80s).
Notes for transport: Given the significant weight of the solid bronze combined with the black marble base and the delicacy of the artistic glass, the item requires professional customized packaging.
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
