Masterfully handcrafted in Spain, circa 1950s. Professionally restored, rewired with US electrical specification, and showroom-ready.

Elevate your interior architecture with this magnificent, museum-quality monumental sculptural table lamp standing at an impressive 29 inches tall. Executed in the grand French Empire and Neoclassical Revival styles, the heavy-gauge solid cast brass body features an exquisite, high-purity authentic silver-plated finish, masterfully enhanced by meticulous historical hand-chasing and tool engraving to bring out the finest details. The theatrical centerpiece depicts .the breathtaking figure of Cupid (Amor) triumphantly holding a torch aloft, complete with his magnificent wings and a classical quiver of arrows on his back, while holding a detailed bow in his hand.

The sculpture stands proudly upon a substantial cylindrical column draped in classical acanthus leaves, resting on a grand tripartite base with three powerful, heavily scrolled architectural lion-style paw feet. The authentic reverse side of the structural feet showcases a beautiful, granulated sand-cast surface, which serves as a definitive certificate of genuine mid-century artisan foundry provenance.

Cupid’s torch coordinates a phenomenal, original thick-walled artisan "Scavo" style frosted glass shade sculpted in the powerful form of a roaring flame. The glass displays a highly unique, matte satin texture with a rare pale ice-blue (seafoam/light-gray-blue) coloration. When illuminated, the light diffuses magnificently through the substantial glass crystal, creating a deeply warm, multi-dimensional atmospheric glow while completely eliminating bulb glare. Due to its theatrical 29-inch scale, solid 10.4 lbs weight, and rare silvered execution, this curated luxury lamp complies perfectly with high-end residential styling, serving as an unparalleled statement piece for formal executive libraries, fireplace mantels, or luxury console tables.
