Description

This large spelter lamp is formed about the scheme of a smaller lamp set upon a table, against which leans a female figure. The entire programme of construction and decoration is witty in design and Orientalist in nature. The female figure wears Orientalist garb; the table against which she leans is an octagonal Moorish side table, replete with Moorish arched piercing; and the lamp itself is of exotic design, being ornamented with lustrous mock gemstones and pierced with arabesque patterns. The entire ensemble stands on a rectangular base, the sides open with Moorish arches and the surfaces, like the surfaces throughout, ornamented with geometrical embossed textures. The lampshade itself, formed of spelter inset with coloured stones, sits atop the lekythos-shaped lamp body, and is draped with hanging gold tassels.
