Oil lamp formed by a sculpture (in green patina regula) signed G. Bareau* representing a winged woman holding a torch (formed by the lamp part), Allegory of Glory, entitled "Gloria", red marble base and container in crystal (most certainly from Baccarat), Duplex n°2 brass system, vintage late 19th century.

This lamp is in good condition and is of exceptional quality. The system works. It is very decorative. The sculpture is signed on the terrace, + plaque "Gloria par G. Bareau Salon de 1892" on the base.

Note: the hand has certainly been glued back to the lamp part (small trace of restoration), some wear on the patina, wear and tear over time, see photos.

He was awarded the Salon prize in 1895, and was classified out of competition at the end of the Universal Exhibition in Brussels in 1897. A gold medal at the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris crowned his career. He was promoted to the rank of officer of the Legion of Honor in December 1906.
