Description

Two-arm decorative table lamp, baroque style, made of brass (according to keywords), visible in this image. The object features a slender silhouette with a central shaft adorned with rocaille motifs, extending into two finely crafted and curved arms. Each arm supports a socket mimicking melted wax, enhancing the antique appearance and authenticity of the chateau style. The base, richly decorated with plant motifs and volutes, anchors the whole in a distinct 19th-century aesthetic, typical of baroque-inspired lighting fixtures.

The top of the lamp is extended by a vertical rod topped with a stylized flame-shaped ornament, a detail frequently associated with church or aristocratic residence lighting. The entire piece is golden in color, with a shiny finish that highlights the sculpted reliefs of the brass. The lamp is equipped with a visible electrical cable, terminated by an old two-prong plug, which attests to its adaptation to electric lighting while retaining its original decorative charm.

The two sockets are designed to receive screw-in bulbs (not supplied, not visible), and are fitted with sleeves imitating candles, with molded drips for a realistic candlestick effect. No lampshade is present or visible in the photo, revealing the complete structure of the lamp. The general appearance is that of a decorative object with character, suitable for a classic interior, a chateau decoration, or a 19th-century inspired ambiance.

The brass patina is uniform on the visible parts, without apparent oxidation or major stains. Some traces of use and wear are noted, particularly on the base and arms, consistent with the object's presumed age. The lamp is photographed in a heritage environment (church or chapel), which reinforces the impression of authenticity and antiquity, but the listing is only for the lamp itself.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of traces of use, patina, and small marks visible on the base and arms. The electrical cable and plug are old; functionality test not guaranteed. The two candle sleeves show slight traces of wear on the top. See photo for exact condition.

Did you know? Two-arm baroque-style lamps were frequently used in 19th-century French aristocratic residences, often inspired by church furnishings. Brass was favored for its malleability and its ability to receive complex chased decorations, characteristic of chateau-style lighting fixtures.
