Description: This is an exceptional and hard-to-find antique Art Nouveau table lamp titled Boy Fishing?, designed by artist Auguste De Wever. Crafted in Paris, France, this spelter sculpture features a bronze-coated finish and displays the timeless elegance and naturalistic charm characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. Details & Measurements: Height: 18.75. Weight: Just under 5 lbs. Markings: Signed by Auguste De Wever and bears the Paris Fabrication, Made in France foundry stamp on the base. Description: This unique piece depicts a young boy baiting his hook for a fishing pole, which is currently missing. There is a hole at the base near his toe to accommodate a rod, which can be substituted with a wooden replacement if desired. The lamp also features a light bulb surrounded by beautiful colored glass shells and flowers. While some of these are missing, most remain intact. Condition: Sculpture: Other than the missing fishing pole, the sculpture is in excellent condition, with no notable damage. Lamp: The lamp post behind the boy is missing one screw where it attaches to his back. Cord: The cord is missing a plug, so the lamp is untested. Glass Decor: Some shells and flowers are missing, but the majority are still present. This lamp is exceptionally rare, and I could not locate any other examples of this particular sculpture by De Wever. If you know of another, Id love to see it for reference!
