Antique bronze oil lamp with figural putto, or cherub, supporting the central stem. This piece is in the Grand Tour style, most prevalent in the 17th-19th centuries. The style takes its name from the traditional trip through Europe undertaken by upper-class young European men of sufficient means and rank, typically around the 21st birthday.

This piece depicts a cherubic figure holding up a central pole with topped with a gryphon head finial that end in a floral scroll motif hook that supports the chained oil vessel, adorned with lion heads.
