Art Nouveau table lamp. The patinated bronze foot is shaped like a tree whose branches are joined to a scalloped garland of plant motifs and birds. At the foot of the tree, a chryselephantine pierrot (its carnations are made of ivory) plays the mandolin. The lampshade, in the form of a hemicycle, is made of alabaster. The sculptural group rests on a marble base which in turn rests on a circular wooden base.
