The influence of early Arabic miniatures is clear in this work, but there is also an idealization that can be linked to the taste for the exotic that permeated 19th-century art and was reflected in works depicting landscapes and scenes considered typical of the Arab world by Europe.

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.

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.
