Sculptural lamp designed by the Catalan artist Josep Montserrat i Portella. It consists of an exotic floral bouquet in patinated bronze that finishes with a great tulip of cut crystal and is accompanied by a bird that rests in the grass. It also incorporates a support for a pocket watch.

Josep Montserrat i Portella studied at the Escuela de la Lonja, where he was a disciple of Josep Reynés. From 1901 he was a professor at this institution. He was framed in a realism of anecdotal tone, with preference for popular themes and great detail, as denoted by works such as Desamparados (1891) or Lavandera (1897). Towards the end of the century he came closer to symbolism, as in Amor y Trabajo (Love and Work), first medal at the National Exhibition in Madrid in 1899. One of his most famous works is the group Returning from the Market (1904, MNAC), as well as the figure of Manelic (1909, Barcelona Sculpture Garden), a character from the play Tierra baja by Àngel Guimerà. He collaborated in the monument to Alfonso XII in Madrid, and has works in Puerto Rico and Fernando Poo.
