The carefully crafted flowers feature hammered and shaped petals with jagged, irregular edges, while the centers are composed of rounded, textured discs that mimic the surface of real sunflower heads. The leaves and metal stems, also gilded and slightly oxidized, lend movement and realism to the composition, creating an effect of rich plasticity and dynamism. from the center of the sculpture rises a vertical, fluted, gilded shaft that serves as a support for the upper lamp holder. The ensemble, with a vintage and Art Deco feel, combines elegance and theatricality, evoking the tradition of Italian decorative lamps.
The lamp has one lamp holder and 27 holes for the fabric shade (not included).
Restored, fully functional, and rewired.
