Modernist lamp, ca. 1900

Modernist lamp, ca. 1900.
Gilt bronze and brass. Textured faceted glass shade.
Measurements: 60 cm (height).

Lamp of clear modernist language, with a slender and light shaft reminiscent of the stem of a flower, emerging from a base decorated with plant motifs. The structure is adorned with two dragonflies in relief, located both at the top and at the bottom, a frequent resource in modernist aesthetics that symbolizes the metamorphosis, lightness, delicacy and ephemeral beauty of nature. As a whole, the lamp stands out for its elegant and fluid lines, gently curved, and its marked organic character that is clearly modernist. The elegance of the piece is accentuated by its faceted textured glass shade.
