Monumentale ( 120 CM) figuratieve torchère/lamp in gepatineerd - Emile Louis Picault (1833-1915) - Sculpture - 120 cm - Patinated bronze

This monumental 120 cm tall figurative torchère (a type of tall lamp or candlestick) in patinated bronze was created by Emile Louis Picault (1833-1915), a French sculptor known for his symbolic and heroic works. Patinated bronze involves chemical treatment to produce a color or finish that enhances aesthetic depth and protects the metal. Tall torchères served both practical lighting roles and as decorative sculptures during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Picault’s works often conveyed allegorical themes, blending craftsmanship with artistic narrative, making pieces like this significant both as functional objects and collectible fine art bronzes.
