White set: angel (cherub) figural lamp and Corinthian column — a luxurious lighting accent for the interior

This white set with an angel lamp (cherub lamp) is a theatrical, light-filled duet where the sculpture and column form a unified vertical composition. At the top stands a winged angel child (cherub) — in the guise of Cupid with a bow and arrow over its shoulder — holding a torch in its raised hand with a frosted glass flame dome (space inside for 1 bulb, which makes the light warm and diffused). The figure rests on a base with a dolphin, wave motif — an ancient, classical detail. Beneath it rises a slender, fluted Corinthian column with a decorative acanthus leaf and volute capital and a square, stepped base.

The material is cast plaster/stone composite with a matte, powdery white finish reminiscent of bisque porcelain elegance; the torch flame is frosted glass, transforming an lit bulb into a soft, glowing light. The modeling is high and detailed: the angel’s curly hair, wing feathers, and facial softness are meticulously rendered.

Style and period of creation. Based on the Corinthian capital, Cupid figure, and torch-lamp motif, the set is made in a classical / neoclassical style — a decorative lighting object whose aesthetic continues the tradition of 19th-century figural lamps, when angels and nymphs carried light in grand salons and stairwells.

Application. An impressive lighting and decor accent in a representative hall, living room, by the stairs, in a hotel or restaurant interior, as well as for wedding and event decoration. The angel on its column forms an almost life-size vertical, immediately drawing the eye in the space.

Condition. Good, commensurate with age. The surface shows natural signs of use and dust in places, with minor natural wear marks on some edges and joints (see photos). Electrics to be checked/connected according to local standards. Construction is stable.

Belle Époque snapshot: Sarah Bernhardt walked through her Parisian home on Boulevard Pereire late one evening, after the guests had departed, and a single light still burned — a frosted flame high on the wall, held by a white winged child. She paused beneath it, touched the cool fluted surface of the column, and for a moment allowed herself to be simply tired. The light fell soft and milky white on the floor and her hands. Tomorrow the theatre and voices would reign here again; but in this late hour, the angel with its quiet flame guarded the only thing she needed at that moment — peace.
