Directoire Style Gilt Solid Bronze Bouillotte Lamp "Lucien Gau"

This exceptional Directoire style lamp, made of solid bronze with a gilded finish, is asymmetrical. The oval shape of its empire green shade highlights the atypical appearance of this lamp. The body of this lamp resembles a chalice with a candle-lit rim facing a bird perhaps coming to quench its thirst. The base, beautifully crafted in concentric grooves, echoes the top of the chalice, forming a very elegant whole. The shade slides on the stem that crosses it, in reference to the models of the time equipped with candles. The finish accentuates the beauty of the details and the perception of preciousness of the whole. ** Perfect condition ** ** Dimensions: height 62 cm, oval shade: 35 cm **.
