The carnation often depicted in Renaissance paintings. It referred to the life of the Virgin Mary. Carnations, a symbol of pure love and fidelity, were said to have sprung up at Mary’s feet from the tears that she shed when Christ carried the Cross to the site of his crucifixion. Carnations are found in numerous 14th- and 15th-century altarpieces throughout Europe featuring the Madonna.
The lamp design is deeply rooted in both the Rococo and Art Nouveau styles that enraptured artists and consumers of the time. The Rococo style originated in France at the court of Louis XV and was popular from about 1730 until 1765 and is associated with his mistress Madame de Pompadour. In its height the style placed emphasis on natural or organic forms and attempted to distance itself from classical geometric designs by using curved lines. Between 1880 and 1915, the period Rococo was in a revival period that in turn influenced the contemporary style movement of Art Nouveau.
