Antique Pewter Oil Lamp, Decorated With Caryatids, Putti, And Flowers, Baccarat Crystal

This antique 19th-century oil lamp is a masterpiece of elegance and refinement, a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.

Crafted from regul, an alloy of zinc, tin, and copper, it features a rich and nuanced patina—the result of time and natural oxidation—which lends it an air that is both noble and mysterious.

Its flat-sided cut crystal reservoir, likely from the renowned workshops of Baccarat, is remarkably transparent and pure.

This detail, combined with the crystal shade, highlights the exceptional quality of the materials used, typical of pieces intended for a wealthy clientele.

The lamp rests on a round black marble base, which provides stability and contrasts with the luminosity of the metal and glass elements.

Its sophisticated design is enhanced by bas-relief motifs depicting floral scenes and mythological figures, such as putti or ancient deities, symbols of grace and harmony.

With a total height of 82 cm (and 58 cm without the shade), this imposing piece was designed to illuminate bourgeois living rooms or libraries, while also serving as a decorative object in its own right.

Its exceptional condition—free of cracks and major corrosion—makes it a rare specimen, ready to once again illuminate an interior with the same intensity as it did in the last century.

This lamp embodies the perfect blend of utility and art, characteristic of 19th-century objects, where every detail was designed to combine functionality and aesthetics.

A timeless piece, ideal for collectors of decorative art or history enthusiasts.
