An Art Nouveau style figural newel post lamp featuring a bronze-patinated cast metal figure of a young boy or putto in a dynamic reaching pose. The lamp is designed with a pendant shade composed of a cluster of frosted lime green glass spheres intended to resemble a bunch of grapes. The figure is mounted on a decorated circular base from which a curved, foliate-form stem rises to support the light fixture. Both the base and stem are embellished with cast floral and leaf motifs. The design is characteristic of French Art Nouveau metalwork from the early 20th century. The lamp has been fitted with modern black plastic-insulated wiring, featuring an in-line thumb switch and a standard British three-pin plug.
22 inches x 9 inches.
