Louis XVI Gilt Bronze Table Lamp with Roses and Ribbons, 19th Century

About the Item

A beautiful example of French neoclassical design, this gilt bronze (ormolu) lamp base was originally created as an oil lamp during the 19th Century. The elegant baluster-shaped body is richly adorned with finely detailed floral garlands and tied ribbon motifs, hallmarks of the refined taste that characterized the reign of Louis XVI. The craftsmanship is superb, with crisp, intricate chasing and a warm original gilded surface that enhances the flowing lines and delicate ornamentation. The base is beautifully decorated with diamond and pearl motifs, and rests on stylized shell-shaped feet – a subtle nod to classical antiquity that was highly appreciated in this era. Its graceful proportions and exquisite detailing make it a versatile statement piece, perfect for bringing a sense of history and timeless beauty into a wide range of interiors, from traditional to contemporary. Whether placed in a luxurious living room, a formal entryway, or atop an antique bureau, it will add an instant touch of authentic French charm. The piece shows the original openings typical of oil lamps and can be professionally wired for modern use upon request.
