AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and imposing table lamp with a classic design, whose shapes evoke the charm of the antique oil lamps from the nineteenth century. A piece of great elegance, ideal for embellishing living rooms, classic studies, or bedrooms with refined taste.
Structural and Material Details:
Base: Made of brass and richly decorated with intricate rococo-style scrolls and foliate motifs. The structure rests on elegant shaped feet that give it stability and grandeur.
Central Body (Column): Made of fine opal glass in a delicate and rare pink peach/salmon hue. The bulbous silhouette, which tapers gracefully toward the neck, is adorned with romantic garlands and floral motifs painted in gold.
Collar: A pierced metal connector with geometric and floral motifs supports the diffuser, adding an extra detail of value.
Diffuser (Globe): The shade is a sphere open at the top, made of satinized white glass (acid-etched). It is finely decorated with manually ground engravings depicting eight-pointed stars and transparent circular lenses. This particular workmanship allows, when lit, to create suggestive and brilliant light plays.
Technical Specifications:
Total Height: 55 cm
Maximum Width (estimated globe/base diameter): 20 cm
Depth: 20 cm
Power: Electrical system present and functioning, equipped with cord, inline switch, and three-pin plug (Italian type).
Light Socket: Compatible with standard bulbs (in the photo a modern LED filament bulb is visible). Note: bulb generally not included with the sale.
Conditions:
The item presents itself in excellent overall vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or breaks on the glass. A natural and fascinating patina of time is noticeable, especially in the gold decorations on the body, elements that certify its authenticity and historic charm. The electrical system is fully functional.
Shipping:
Professional and extremely careful packaging is guaranteed to preserve the glass integrity during transport. Shipped insured and trackable.
NOTE: Any extra-EU costs or duties will be charged to the buyer.
