This beautifully cast antique French bisque lamp is a delight to see.  There are three dancing maidens, garlanded with rose petals who are dancing around a Louis XVI style fluted column with Doric capital on a square pedestal base. The front of the pedestal bears a lion’s face plaque; and, the fluted column has garlands of roses surrounding it  with a quiver trophy and a festoon of roses hanging from it, designating love.   On top of the Doric capital is a finely chased and incised bronze urn.  There are three arms for light bulbs, and an adjustable center post for varying the height of the lampshade.  At the base of the lamp is a stepped out finely chased and incised bronze plate base resting upon three flattened bun feet.
