AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Table lamp from the second half of the 20th century, with a central body in blown crystal and a mount in gilded brass.

Description

A vertical structure of classical proportions, articulated in three sections. The base, square and stepped in solid brass, supports a balustraded stem that links to the central element: a transparent crystal amphora with an ovoide profile, blown with ribbed (spiral) decoration that creates light play and relief on the surface, and with an acid-etched or subtly polished motif on the body. This crystal body is threaded by a central brass rod, visible through the glass, running through the amphora in a zigzag pattern as structural reinforcement and mounting axis — a common technical solution in blown-crystal lamps to provide stability without resorting to an interior visible wiring.

The piece is finished with a flared brass neck that transitions to the socket, resolved in a threaded golden tube, ready to receive the shade.
