AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Let yourself be enchanted by the grace and sensuality of this exceptional Art Nouveau table lamp, a creation by the talented Italian sculptor Guido Mariani.
Named 'Ninfe,' this collectible piece perfectly embodies the spirit of the era, where nature, femininity, and exceptional craftsmanship came together to create objects of timeless beauty.

This lamp features a patinated bronze structure of superb richness and depth. At its center, a stylized female figure, evoking a nymph that is both delicate and assertive, stands with natural elegance. Its sinuous forms and subtle details, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, captivate the eye and testify to Mariani's talent for breathing life into the material.

The lamp arm is movable and also made of bronze, rising with a graceful curve to support an opalescent glass lampshade. The latter, with its delicately wavy edges and ribbed texture, diffuses a soft and warm light, creating an intimate and refined atmosphere. The lampshade harmoniously complements the bronze base, highlighting the overall organic and fluid aesthetic.

Dated around 1925, this lamp is a true testament to a bygone era, when each object was crafted with passion and attention to detail. Owning this piece means acquiring a fragment of decorative art history, a work that will transcend generations while preserving its charm and value.


A perfect embodiment of style with its organic lines, feminine figure, and noble materials.
Guido Mariani is a renowned sculptor whose Art Nouveau works are highly sought after.
Sculpture 'Ninfe' captivating: The female figure is of remarkable beauty and expressiveness.
Early Art Deco period (circa 1925): A pivotal time when Art Nouveau elegance merged with emerging modernity.
Patinated bronze and high-quality glass, a guarantee of durability and beauty.
Functional and Decorative Object: Brighten your interior while being a true work of art.

Details :
Ballerina sculpture: 23 cm
- Dimensions: Height: 47 cm, Width: 36 cm, Depth: 17 cm, Weight: 2.7 kg

In good condition, with some age-related stains, a slight lack is observed at the ceramic socket, which is completely invisible once the tulip is in place. The tulip at the fixation point shows some signs of use (see photos).
