A striking late 19th-century Spanish torchère, hand-forged in wrought iron with a slender architectural form, spiral-twisted shaft and scrolling tripod base. Contrasting metal mounts punctuate the iron standard, retaining the irregularities and patina characteristic of traditional hand workmanship.
Originally conceived as a standing torchère or candlestand, the piece has been thoughtfully adapted for contemporary use as a floor lamp, professionally rewired for the US with double sockets and finished with a custom linen shade. The sculptural ironwork and unusually elegant proportions allow the lamp to move easily between historic and contemporary interiors.
