Large lamp (75 cm high) in solid bronze, with a nuanced brown patina. Its tripod base features volute and protruding feet, typical of the neo-Gothic forms of the late 19th century. The finely turned and balanced stem is reminiscent of old church or chapel candlesticks. Decorative piece with a sculptural character, heavy and stable, able to accommodate a large cylindrical lampshade for a monumental effect as illustrated.
