Table Lamp of a Maiden Intertwined with Flowers
Patinated bronze | situated over an original walnut base | unsigned
Item # 212MOL15P
A fluid and sensuous table lamp executed entirely in bronze, it captures a young maiden connected so completely with the nature around her that she almost loses herself within the foliage and fronds of the flowers that rise to envelope her. Either outstretched hand projects before and behind her, both caressing the plant-life as if it were a friendly soul, her back hand almost disappearing along the curvature of the leaf. It is raised over an original walnut base set over a polished bronze rim. Positively exquisite!
Measurements: 12 3/8" H [bronze only], 13 1/4" H [total height] x 7" D [base] x 12 1/8" W
Condition Report:
Patina loss and surface variation to the maiden, this mostly seen under strong direct light; surface has been carefully cleaned and sealed in conservator's wax; presents beautifully. We always recommend wiring be inspected by a professional electrician prior to use.
