An antique wooden ebonized bedside lamp from France dating to 1850–1900, with hand-painted floral decoration, a circular top, a square base with small balusters, and dimensions 90 cm high, 30 cm wide and 30 cm deep, in good used condition.
Description from the seller
It is a 19th-century lamp stand that rises with that vertical elegance typical of pieces meant to accompany select corners, and it does so through a slender, precisely turned column that the ebonization renders in a deep, almost lacquered black, where light slides with a restrained glow. On that darkness, the hand-painted floral motifs acquire a delicate presence: green leaves that curve naturally, pale flowers that seem suspended in a small gesture of light, all executed with that artisanal impulse that distinguishes the nineteenth-century workshops that sought to combine utility and ornament.
The circular, discreet and proportioned top crowns the piece without imposing itself, allowing the column to be the protagonist. Below, the square base provides an architectural counterpoint: solid, well seated, surrounded by small balusters that give it an almost miniature feel, as if the furniture wished to recall the tradition of lamp stands that served both to support a lamp and to display a precious object.
Overall, it is an ebony wood, nineteenth-century lamp stand that blends the sobriety of black with the grace of floral painting, a piece that breathes craftsmanship, decorative taste, and that intimate refinement that characterizes domestic furniture of the era.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
