AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique oil lamp with Kosmos Brenner burner, decorative body with mascaroni and an ornamental base transformed into an elegant antique lamp characterized by a richly decorated structure, a central urn-shaped body, and a contoured base with ornamental elements inspired by classical repertoire.
The object stands out for the mascaroni depicting human faces, the sinuous side figures, the raised vegetal motifs, and the articulated workmanship of the base.
The upper part houses a burner with the inscription «Kosmos Brenner», with copper components, attributable to the type used in oil lamps.
The lamp has subsequently been adapted to electric lighting. It is currently presented with an ivory-colored fabric shade and modern electrical components.
In terms of style and construction, the object is indicatively attributable to the late 19th or early 20th century.
