Description
From the Garden of Eden, to the fearful serpents of ancient tales, the figure of the snake has preoccupied human thought as a symbol of the primal danger and exotic glamour of the Earth. Almost inconceivable to the human mind the serpent fascinates and scares us in equal measure. The Reptile sconce, appearing to be almost slithering up the wall, is a dynamic piece of interior design that is bound to add a sense of primitive exoticism to any modern or classical living space.
The central structure of this piece, that is heavily detailed and sculpted to represent the figure of the serpent, is crafted from a broken gold leaf with a high gloss finish that is as glamorous as it is alluring. Appearing as if it could unwind at any moment, the curvature of the snake’s form paints itself upon the wall in a freewheeling and expressive manner. The lampshade is held up by the head of the feature snake and is finished in an opulent black satin material that contrasts with the shining surface of the central structure, acting to emphasise the shrining materiality of the feature piece. A brilliantly unique piece, the Reptile wall lamp is bound to grab the attention in any modern living space.
