The sculpture, cast in metal, is treated with a rich verdigris patina, simulating aged bronze and lending the piece profound depth and character. Resting atop a handsome tiered wood base and accented with polished brass hardware, the lamp masterfully blends neoclassical form with 20th-century decorative styling. The athletic pose provides a dynamic focal point that suggests movement and strength, appealing to collectors of historical and sculptural design.

Offering sophisticated ambient lighting, this piece is ideally suited for a library desk, office credenza, or luxurious side table, adding an element of grand style to any living area. The lamp measures 8.5 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep, and 20 inches tall (to the top of the socket). It is presented in great vintage condition; the patinated finish is intentionally aged, providing a rich, characterful surface appropriate to its history. Minor age-appropriate wear is present on the wood base and brass components. Acquire this unique sculptural lamp to illuminate your space with classical elegance. See less
