"Art Nouveau Lamp Sculpture In Gilt Bronze Woman Butterfly "
Exquisite gilt bronze sculpture forming a torch mounted as a lamp. The model depicts a butterfly woman emerging from a flower, resting on a red marble dome set upon a very attractive gilt bronze base with grape-shaped feet and a beaded frieze. Late 19th century, Art Nouveau style. Original gilding with a beautiful patina. Very good overall condition; a slight crack in the bronze is visible on the back at the top of one branch. The wiring needs to be checked. Total height including the lampshade arch: 48 cm. Sculpture height: 25 cm.
