This Napoleon III lamp in Sarrancolin marble was executed in the second half of the 19th century.

The lamp sits atop a sumptuous vase in Sarrancolin pink marble veined with white. It rests on small balls; its circumference is encircled by three bands of gilt bronze and adorned, at the upper part, with four finely detailed gilt bronze lion heads with a fierce air. Two handles transition to the neck of the vase. It supports a lamp: each light source is concealed by a palm leaf; at the end of each leaf, a delicately carved pendant.

This antique gas lamp still has its ignition system, although it has been electrified subsequently.

The whole is supported by a (contemporary) base in Sarrancolin marble, echoing the shape and ornamentation of the lamp.
