On the back of this lamp you can still see the signs of a shoulder, an element that allowed for vertical stability and the lateral signs of two handles, now no longer present. The central surface of the vase is engraved on plaster and is decorated with the carving of a garland of flowers with two festoons. The terminal part has an original decoration with leaf carving, unusual for palm-holders. In good condition, this gilded wall lamp from the eighteenth century is functional, suitable for an E27 bulb. Minimal losses to the gilding compatible with the dating.
