The lamp’s neck and stem are finished in a soft cream white, enhanced by delicate gold detailing that radiates elegance. The upper portion features a captivating perforated design, enriched with dark pink and gold accents, creating a striking visual contrast that draws the eye..

On the front and back, two enchanting forest scenes depict maidens and cherubs in a playful narrative. One scene features a maiden with blonde hair tied up in a bun, dressed in an ankle-length pink gown, seated with knees bent. She gazes at a winged brunette cherub in mid-flight, tenderly holding her arm, while a second cherub in the background claps his hands in delight.

The other scene portrays two maidens—one with brown hair and the other blonde—who appear anxious about being caught undressed. A mischievous blonde cherub in a pink loincloth glances back to ensure the coast is clear, while ascending to help drape a long swath of yellow silk-like fabric around the maidens. Meanwhile, a playful brunette cherub adds to the whimsy by blowing a horn in the background.

The lamp rests on an antique white metal base featuring art deco patterns. Its square shape is complemented by round arches and a swirling green design that harmonizes beautifully with the handles.
