AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This early 20th-century oil lamp is an exquisite representation of the Art Nouveau style, characterized by its organic shapes, flowing lines, and motifs inspired by nature and the female figure.
The main structure is made of technical zinc, a durable material that allows precise molding of decorative details. In the center, the figure of a muse stands out, sculpted with dynamism and grace, as if in full movement. Her posture, with arms raised holding the top of the lamp, conveys lightness and elegance. The flowing garments and expressive gesture reinforce the ethereal and symbolic character of this figure, typical of the artistic imagination of the period.
The handcrafted glass deposit, with a delicate texture, provides a visual contrast between translucency and metal. This finish not only enhances the piece's beauty but also reflects light in a warm and enveloping manner, fulfilling both aesthetic and practical functions.
Overall, this lamp is not just a utilitarian object but a decorative work of art that embodies the refined and poetic spirit of Art Nouveau. Ideal for environments that value classical art and detailed craftsmanship.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
