The present floor lamp is one of the most successful examples of the Stile Floreale, the Italian Art Nouveau movement. Gerardi was a student of Duilio Cambellotti and often worked with iron, copper, silver and precious metals. The present work can be regarded as an homage to his teacher. The wheat sheaf elements composing the upright supports of the floor lamp echo the symbol often seen beside Cambellotti’s signature on his own works.
