This iconic piece features an elegant naturalistic decoration of vines and bunches of grapes, finely released in reserve on a shaded background of amber, deep brown and cream tones. The superimposed layers of glass offer a remarkable chromatic richness, typical of Gallé's production in the late 19th - early 20th century.

The decoration unfolds harmoniously on the lampshade and base, creating a refined visual unity. When illuminated, the lamp reveals the full depth of the glass paste, diffusing a warm, enveloping light that sublimates the plant motifs.

The bronze frame is a perfect complement to the lampshade.

The gilded bronze frame, discreet and elegant, aptly supports the whole, in keeping with the organic style characteristic of Art Nouveau.

Signature Gallé visible on lampshade and base.

A collector's piece, both decorative and functional, perfectly embodying the naturalist and poetic aesthetics of the École de Nancy.
