A highly sculptural banquet lamp, marked "The Victor Pat. 1889," with early electrical conversion. The decorations include twoputticaryatid supports, goat head and swag motifs, and a reticulated body featuring putti spearing mythical beasts. Bohemian cranberry glass globe with cut-to-clear designs.

Measures 32" x 10".

Condition

The lamp has not been tested, because the electric cord is in poor condition and should be re-wired. Worn patina. Minor chipping along the bottom rim of the globe.
