An elegant Italian reverse-painted glass lamp featuring a neoclassical female figure in draped robes with a swan, echoing the mythological Leda and the Swan. The cylindrical glass column has been reverse-painted and gilded in tones of silver and bronze, creating a richly textured surface with a layered, timeworn patina. A bold Greek key band encircles the base, enhancing its classical architectural presence.
The lamp rests on a square plinth base and is finished with a custom silver-gilt paper shade, trimmed in silver for a refined contrast that amplifies its sculptural form. At once decorative and functional, this piece blends neoclassical romanticism with modern glamour.
