The putti's left hand firmly grips the serpent’s head while his right hand clasps its intricately twisted tail. His thick, wavy hair beautifully frames an angelic face, highlighted by a mischievous smile.

Below, an antique Bohemian cranberry red hand-cut crystal elliptical orb creates a vibrant contrast against the lamp's silver tones. This orb is embellished with a captivating array of crosshatched and circular patterns that catch and refract light beautifully.

Supporting the crystal orb is a long, slender fluted neoclassical metal column that stands on a square block of black marble with a delicate white veined pattern. Beneath the marble a matching silver-tone metal platform with four short legs provides a polished finish.

At the top of the lamp, four amber crystal icicle prisms elegantly dangle from a scrolled decorative metal bobeche, catching the light from the warm glow of the milk glass lamp shade that is adorned with a subtle waffle texture.

This stunning pair of torchiere lamps, uniquely crafted from a harmonious blend of antique crystal, vintage metal, brass, milk glass, and marble, serves not only as a functional light source but also as a sculptural work of art. The interplay of contrasting colors, graceful curves, and linear shapes, along with the diverse materials used, allows these lamps to seamlessly integrate into a variety of interior design schemes. less
