Dimensions: Height 188 cm (including lampshade)
Materials: Finely chased bronze and fabric
Elegant floor lamp made entirely of bronze, characterized by a slender structure and high-quality plastic workmanship. The piece stands out for its central fluted stem resting on a richly decorated tripod base.
The formal features show a three-legged base with volute motifs, phytomorphic elements, and grotesque decorations, typical of the eclectic ornamental repertoire. The upper part of the stem features a knob decorated with relief motifs that supports the lamp holder, topped by a large pleated fabric lampshade with a decorative border.
The style of the object directly recalls the production of the renowned French foundry Barbedienne, known for the perfection of its bronze casts and for the refined taste that dominated European applied arts.
The piece is of French manufacture and dates back to the second half of the 19th century (full Napoleon III period), an era when decorative bronze reached its highest levels of diffusion and prestige.
The object is in good general condition; the bronze patina is original and consistent with the era, the lampshade shows slight signs of age that do not detract from its aesthetic appeal.
