This exceptional Art Nouveau decorative oil lamp dates from the late 19th/early 20th century and is crafted from heavy cast bronze or brass. The object immediately stands out with its organic lines, curling arms, and finely crafted animal motifs, typical of the Art Nouveau period.
The lamp has a powerful sculptural silhouette with a richly detailed base featuring a pearl rim, a central spherical body, and elegantly curved arms ending in animal heads. The original patina remains intact, emphasizing the piece's age and authenticity.
This object was originally intended as a decorative oil or spirit lamp, or as a salon object, as was often the case with luxurious Art Nouveau interiors. This is not an electric lamp and is offered as a decorative collector's item.
A beautiful statement piece for a classic, eclectic, or designer interior, but also very suitable for collectors of Art Nouveau and Art Nouveau objects. Details
