Antique Art Nouveau Reverse Painted Glass and Cast Metal 3-Branch Epergne Lamp

This is an antique Art Nouveau table lamp, featuring a complex design that combines reverse-painted glass and cast metal elements. The lamp is characterized by a central vase-like body made of reverse-painted glass, showcasing a warm, amber-to-orange hue when illuminated. Within the central glass body, a detailed figural scene with a classical or allegorical figure is visible, painted on the interior surface, adding depth and a soft glow. The central glass is cradled within an ornate cast metal fixture, likely brass or bronze with a darkened, possibly patinated finish, displaying intricate scrollwork and floral motifs consistent with the Art Nouveau style. Extending from the central body are three gracefully curved metal arms, each terminating in a downward-facing light fixture with a 'tulip' or 'petal' shaped shade made of amber-colored glass, possibly art glass with a textured surface to diffuse light. These smaller shades appear to be textured or fluted, mimicking flower petals. At the very top, emerging from the central glass, is another clear, fluted glass 'epergne' or vase-like element, likely intended for holding flowers or as a decorative finial. The lamp stands on a substantial, round cast metal base with an ornate, possibly floral or foliate pattern in relief, providing stability and contributing to its overall aesthetic. The visible electrical cord indicates it is a functional lamp. The metal components exhibit a dark, aged patina, suggesting significant age. There are no obvious signs of severe damage such as cracks in the glass or significant breaks in the metalwork, though typical wear and minor surface imperfections consistent with an antique item are to be expected. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, with detailed casting and delicate glasswork, indicative of a decorative and functional art piece from the late 19th to early 20th century.
