Neoclassical Samovar Lamp w/ Dragon Handles

Neoclassical Brass Samovar Lamp with Dragon Handles Description: Impressive Neoclassical-style samovar lamp crafted in polished brass, featuring bold dragon (or lion-dragon hybrid) mask handles with hanging rings on either side of the vessel. The lamp retains its original samovar-inspired form, including the decorative spigot and pierced lower vents, mounted on a circular wooden base. The body displays a hand-worked, subtly hammered surface with warm brass patina, giving it strong visual depth and classical presence. The dramatic figural handles add a mythological element rarely seen on standard samovar lamps, making this an excellent statement piece for traditional, eclectic, or grand interiors. Converted for electric use with a standard socket and harp. Shade shown is included unless otherwise stated.
