Art Deco - Table lamp - Patinated bronze - In the style: J.B. Carpeaux

Large bronze table lamp: Napolitan Fisher Boy with Shell - Mid 20th Century A very atmospheric and heavy bronze table lamp, made in the style of the famous French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. The sculpture depicts the iconic 'Napolitan Fisher Boy' (Pêcheur Napolitain à la Coquille), kneeling with a fisherman's net bringing a large nautilus shell to his ear to listen to the sea. The natural shell serves as a beautiful, organic lampshade. When the lamp is lit, the shell glows with a warm, fiery light, beautifully accentuating the natural details and patterns of the shell. Style: After Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux Material: Bronze with a deep brown patina and a natural nautilus shell Period: Mid 20th century In good working and very beautiful condition. The shell is intact and the bronze sculpture shows a fine, authentic age patina. Equipped with functioning wiring and switch. Unsigned (typical for these decorative castings from the 20th century). A beautiful and timeless art object that is an absolute showpiece as both a sculpture and mood lighting in any classic or modern interior. Meticulously and professionally packaged.
