Description from the seller
A Louis XV-style street lamp like this deserves a description that does justice to its theatricality: a tall piece, 170 cm in height, rising like a luminous sculpture designed for stately gardens, classic courtyards, or interiors that seek an aristocratic accent. The iron, worked with fluid curves and vegetal finials, is finished in an antique white-chrome that softens the exuberant Rococo and gives it a nearly monumental porcelain-like aura.
The central shaft ascends with elegance, decorated with mouldings and striations reminiscent of palace candelabras from the 18th century. From it emerge several sinuous arms, each ending in a lamp holder that preserves the graceful undulation of the Louis XV style: S-curves, small volutes, a musical rhythm in the way they open outward. Between the arms appear decorative planters, a hallmark of luxury garden lamps, where light and foliage combined to create romantic atmospheres as evening fell.
The structure retains its original presence, but time has made a modernization of the wiring necessary—common in pieces of this era—to ensure safety and daily use. The shades, which can be chosen to suit the client’s taste, allow customization of the final aesthetic: from opaline glass for a soft, diffused effect to hand-cut glass for a more theatrical shine.
It is a piece that does not merely illuminate: it stages. Perfect for a classic garden, an elegant porch, or even a generous interior where one wishes to introduce a gesture of historical luxury.
Certified shipping and careful packaging.
