A striking pair of sculptural twin-arm lamps featuring cast merman figures, each emerging from stylised bases set on square plinths and supporting fluted light arms. These pieces were originally conceived as candle candelabra, and were adapted for use as electric lighting in the early 20th century.
The figures are boldly modelled, with expressive facial features and classical detailing, finished in a dark patinated bronze surface. The later electrification allows the pieces to function practically while retaining their dramatic sculptural presence
