Faun lamp, Clodion taste, Louis XVI style - gilded & patinated bronze - 37cm

Superb Louis XVI style lamp, dating from the 1920s-1930s. Made of bronze. Original gilding and patina in very good condition. The lamp features a young faun, crowned with vine leaves, holding a light arm shaped like a vase adorned with foliage. The figure displays the characteristic attributes of fauns from Greco-Roman mythology, notably its legs and goat hooves. The sculpture, with meticulous details, reflects the taste of compositions by Claude Michel, known as Clodion (1738-1814). The contrast between the dark patina of the faun and the gilded bronze elements highlights the decorative richness of this lamp. The circular base is embellished with a frieze of pearls. The bronzes are finely hand-chiseled, demonstrating a beautiful quality of craftsmanship and finishing. The lamp is perfectly stable. Electrical system completely redone (for E14 bulb). Supplied with a pleated beige lampshade, bordered with decorative trims. Very good overall condition; note a small hole at the back of the lampshade (see last photo). Careful packaging ensured via recommended Colissimo delivery to your home. Dimensions: Height with lampshade: 37.00 cm. Diameter of lampshade: 14.50 cm. Height of base without lampshade: 30.00 cm. Diameter of base: 9.80 cm. Total weight: 1.90 kg.
