Louis XVI period hot-water bottle lamp, in finely chased gilt bronze and painted sheet metal.
It rests on a flared circular base adorned with foliage, and features three arms of light decorated with female heads wearing antique hairstyles, a symbol of the neoclassical taste in vogue in the XVIIIᵉ century.
The ensemble is topped by a green sheet metal lampshade, adjustable in height by means of a key and finished with a leafy crown-shaped grip ring.
The object has been electrified, while retaining its original spirit and authenticity.
Parisian work, circa 1780.
Very good condition, with beautiful original gilding.
