Dragonfly and Floral Motif Table Lamp

This is a decorative table lamp featuring a nature-inspired design with dragonflies and a floral motif. The lamp stands on a dark, possibly bronze or cast iron, base designed to resemble branches or naturalistic elements, upon which two detailed dragonfly figures are perched. The dragonflies exhibit textured wings and bodies, suggesting a cast metal construction, and are symmetrically positioned on either side of the central light element. The lamp's light source is housed within a translucent, inverted bell-shaped glass shade, which appears to be frosted or opalescent, emitting a soft, diffused light. This glass shade is encased by an ornamental dark metal cage with curving, leaf-like or petal-like supports that cradle the glass, creating a distinctive floral appearance. The overall color palette is subdued, with dark metallic tones for the base and cage, contrasting with the light, warm glow of the glass shade. The construction appears sturdy, indicative of a well-made decorative piece. There are no immediate signs of significant damage like cracks or chips; however, natural wear consistent with age and use, such as minor scuffs or slight tarnishing on the metal, may be present but are not clearly discernible from the image. The electrical cord, visible to the left, suggests it is fully functional. The style leans towards an Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts influence, given its organic shapes and natural themes, suggesting an estimated age from the late 19th to early 20th century, or a more contemporary reproduction in that style. Quality indicators include the detailed casting of the dragonflies and the integrated design of the metalwork surrounding the shade, indicating good craftsmanship.
