Neo-Gothic gas lamp, ca. 1880. Gilt bronze. Formerly gas, now electrified. Typical wear and tear of the period. Measurements: 85 (height) x 75 cm (diameter). Ceiling lamp with the structure entirely made of bronze. It has a central fluted shaft from which emerge three arms on whose knees there are openwork fleurons in a marked neo-Gothic style. These arms are in turn ornamented with masks. The lamp belongs to the 'neo' period, a historicist movement, mainly architectural and decorative, which arose at the end of the 19th century in Great Britain and which sought to recall ancient styles, in this case Gothic.
