This piece is a prime example of the brand's signature "Longobard" revival aesthetic, a style inspired by medieval and Gothic designs, a fact clearly evident in its complex structure. The lamp is crafted from gilded metal, which displays an original patina that has developed subtle greenish hues and darker areas, lending it historical depth.

The structure is remarkable for its intricate level of detail. The circular base features a repoussé or hammered finish with a consistent dot pattern. The baluster-shaped central body is decorated with openwork appliqués and four metal scrolls rising from the base. Above this body, a decorative element evokes an antique key or mechanism.

The shade is the centerpiece: a textured ("hammered") glass cylinder in an intense ruby ​​red. This glass effectively filters the light, creating a distinctly warm and ambient atmosphere. The screen is secured by a gilded metal upper structure reminiscent of a crown or an open flower. It is a piece with a strong sculptural presence. This piece has an attribution mark,
