The famous peacock lamp was a real sensation at the Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte Decorativa in Turin. It is an electric lamp in the form of a nude ivory figure surrounded by enamelled metal peacock feathers set with precious stones. The lamp is now untraced, known only from the present drawing.
The design is a prime example of Symbolism in Art Nouveau; at the same time, it contradicts all the laws of functionality in its conception.
