The lamp has an elegant, curvy urn-shaped silhouette, enhanced by gracefully scrolled handles in shades of yellow and pink. Its neck and upper body feature an exquisite pierced oval pattern, delicately accented with touches of gold and teak.

The body is rendered in a soft antique white, beautifully adorned in low relief with a garden scene that unfolds in vivid detail. In this vibrant scene, four elegantly dressed figures—a mix of ladies and a gentleman—are depicted mid-celebration, lost in the merriment of a lively gathering.

On one side, a striking woman in a sunny yellow gown, her intricately styled blonde hair neatly tied up in a bun, leans forward with eager anticipation, her empty chalice poised for more mead. In stark contrast to her neat composure another lady, clad in a dark pink gown, has succumbed to the festivities, and has spilled the last of the mead when the jug that she was holding just tipped over. She can bearly support her head as the gentleman in a vivid blue toga gently supports her right arm, ensuring she remains upright.

On the opposite side of the lamp, two maidens share a moment that beautifully contrasts innocence with mild exasperation. One maiden, dressed in a radiant yellow gown, her golden locks cascading over her left shoulder, is blissfully absorbed in her thoughts, seemingly oblivious to the chaotic revelry surrounding her.

Next to her, a robust woman in a sumptuous green gown can't contain her animated expression. Her head is turned sharply to the left, eyes wide with astonishment as she takes in the raucous scene. One hand hovers dramatically in the air, poised near her mouth as if to stifle a gasp, revealing her astonishment at the antics before her.

The lamp is anchored by a base of intricately designed brass ormolu, featuring floral scrolls and a pierced pattern that adds an element of elegance. The harmonious blend of colors and the meticulous detailing of the design make this lamp a versatile accent piece, capable of enhancing a variety of interior styles. See less
