This bronze lamp depicts a group of people celebrating the Roman festival of Bacchus which is celebrated with drinking, dancing and song. In ancient Greece, a wild drunken party was called a Bacchanalia. Specifically, a Bacchanalia celebrated the god of wine.

In modern usage, bacchanalia can mean any uninhibited or drunken revelry. The bacchanal in art describes any small group of revelers, often including satyrs .

The revelers are holding a pair of glass lily shades to brighten their trip home. Great conversation piece especially at a party.

Description

This handcrafted bronze sculpture is cast in the finest American bronze using the superior lost wax method, finished in a multi-color patina and mounted on a black marble base with an etched brass plate that bears the name of the statue and the artist. Marble base on most statues is included but optional, please let us know if you don’t want your statue mounted on a marble base.

Made to order, please allow 4-8 weeks for production and delivery.

Color Choices – The standard way we usually cast and finish many of our sculptures is with what we refer to as multi-color patina. However, we can also finish the entire sculpture in classic statuary green (verdigris) or brown for a more traditional look. Both patinas are very nice and weather the same. Color selection is more a matter of customer preference.
