Silver-plated wall light in the shape of a bat with two supports for candles.
The bat was a very popular animal during the late 19th century and really inspired all Art Nouveau designers, most specifically some jewel designers such as Lalique who created a whole collection of jewels with this animal.
Indeed, this animal was very mysterious in the global imaginary, half a bird but with hair instead of feathers, not entirely nocturnal or diurnal, surrounded by a complete universe of fantasy.
Several pieces are available, a perfect way to make a set and very aesthetic lighting.
