AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptional turtle lamp in glass paste and patinated bronze.
Magnificent turtle-shaped lamp of rare elegance, a true small luminous sculpture dating from around the 1980s, reminiscent of the great French glassworks of the time (Daum, Muller, Schneider...).
Marbled glass paste shell in amber, caramel, and brown tones, with beautiful inclusions and translucent reflections that diffuse a warm, captivating light when lit. The effect is absolutely magical: the shell appears alive, radiating golden and fiery hues like a genuine precious tortoise shell.
Frame and details in finely chiseled bronze metal: expressive head with realistic eyes, textured paws, delicately sculpted tail. The work of the bronze metal is of great finesse, with a beautiful antique patina.
Original electrical system revisited, functioning perfectly at 220-240V (European socket), E14 bulb.
Dimensions :
Length 20 cm – Width 15 cm – Height 11 cm
Weight approximately 1.2 kg – perfect presence and balance.
Impeccable condition: no chips, no missing parts, no restorations. The glass paste is intact, and the bronze metal retains its original patina without scratches or abrasions. A jewelry piece in perfect preservation, ready to immediately illuminate your interior.
A collectible piece that is decorative by day and magical by night, perfect as a bedside lamp on a console, a bedside table, or in a display case. Guaranteed hypnotic luminous effect – it captures everyone's attention!
