AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
It is a vintage brass table lamp, designed after an antique oil lamp or candle lamp, with a shaped base, a vertical central stem, and a transparent glass cylinder protecting the electric bulb.
The piece features a splendid, richly detailed structure with scrolls on the base and on the side arm.
The lamp has retained over time its natural patina and the original brass oxidation, an intentional choice to preserve its historical charm and authenticity (the item has not been artificially polished).
It is characterized by rich ornamental workmanship and an elegant decorative taste: one of the most distinctive elements is the presence of a suggestive winged zoomorphic figure on the base, probably depicting a dragon or a fantastical creature, with wings spread. This detail gives the object a distinctive and evocative character.
The illuminating body is completed by an elegant transparent glass shaped like a chimney, adorned with delicate floral motifs, reminiscent of traditional period lamps.
A lamp with great visual presence, ideal for classical interiors, studies, libraries, vintage furnishings or collections of antique lighting.
Perfectly functional.
The item will be packed with the utmost care. Shipping by courier.
