Elegant table lamp with a sculptural character made of bronze on a solid base of veined black marble. The composition features a central figure of a stylised dolphin that rises with an upward movement from the pedestal, holding an ornamental cup inspired by marine elements on its back, which acts as a lamp holder. The dolphin sculpture showcases detailed relief work, with finely marked scales, a pronounced dorsal fin, and a curved tail that adds dynamism to the piece. Above the figure, a decorative motif in the shape of a chalice or open flower develops, reminiscent of shells and botanical elements found in neoclassical ornamentation. The whole rests on a solid cubic base of black marble, whose natural veining contrasts elegantly with the patinated metal, creating a visual balance between weight and lightness. Due to its materials, proportions, and ornamental character, this lamp fits within the decorative taste of the Hollywood Regency style, highly valued in mid-20th-century interior design for its blend of classic elegance and sculptural presence. With a height of 66 cm and an approximate weight of 5.5 kg, the piece has a notable presence, functioning both as a functional lamp and as a decorative element on a console, sideboard, or auxiliary table. Original wiring.
