It’s aesthetic blend of organic forms sit upon a stylized sculptural wood base.
Here are some important facts;
* Design & Style: The lamp features a classic Art Nouveau organic form with a metal female figure at the center. Two slender, curved arms emerge from behind her, ending in floral-shaped sockets that mimic flower buds or lilies.
* Materials: The figural base is spelter (a zinc-based alloy popular in Europe around 1900) mounted on a wooden base.
* The original glass shades (often iridescent "illy" or tulip-shaped art glass produced by makers like Loetz, Tiffany, or Daum) are not included, instead the bare candelabra light bulbs are being used which we have done for years.
* Pieces with this specific configuration are highly reminiscent of classic Austrian and French sculptors from the era, such as Gustav Gurschner, Louis and François Moreau, or Lucien Alliot.
Condition; Very good to excellent. The lady has a small hairline crack on her left arm which is part of the casting process.
