Pineapple-shaped table lamp, polychrome bronze. No screen. A pedestal (with simulated brickwork on its front) elevates and highlights the pineapple that forms the body of this lamp.

This blend of classical elements with more contemporary, naturalistic inspiration makes the piece an excellent lamp for an interior. Weight: 4.6 kg
