AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This beautiful Lucien Gau bouillotte style lamp with two lights in solid bronze in the Empire style has an antique gold finish and is lacquered in green. The lampshade, the base and the bobeches are lacquered, contrasting with the antique gold finish of the other elements such as the swans carrying the lights, the base and the bowls. This happy combination gives the lamp its originality, accentuated by the gold and light frieze that decorates the shade. The metal parts are made of solid bronze of the best alloy, cast in sand moulds, and all the finishes: patina, adjustment and assembly are done entirely by hand.
Measurements: height: 51 cm, width: 35 cm
Light source: two standard E14 screw bulbs, preferably frosted flame type.
In good condition. Only to mention one swan is slightly uneven compared to the other one and the lampshade is not straight at the back. All this can be adjusted by someone who knows how to. See the last two photos.
