Electrified.
Measurements: 24 x 13 cm; 55 cm (total height).
Louis XVI style table lamp with red pleated fabric lampshade. The shaft of the lamp is made of marble with bronze appliques. This reproduces a cup or vase Louis XVI style marble marbled and decorated with bronze applications. The piece stands on a marble pedestal, on which rests a circular foot decorated with a bronze sogueada molding. The ovoid vessel is decorated at shoulder height with a large garland that falls down the body. The burnished gilding of the bronzes harmonizes with the natural beauty of the marble in sienna and ochre tones. The ensemble manages to maintain the classical rigor while leaving room for the ornamental fantasy so much to the taste of the bourgeois clientele of the time.
