Bronze table lamp in the shape of a rectangular cup. Without shade. A base on four legs formed by inward-turning scrolls ensures the lamp's stability. Its stem is shaped like a rectangular cup: a round base gives way to several concave sections separated by circular moldings, followed by the cup (with chamfered corners) and topped with more concave moldings. The movement that all these elements lend to the piece makes it an interesting decorative element, as well as highlighting the material from which it is made.
