The body is made of solid 800-grade silver, as confirmed by the hallmark on the base featuring a crown, crescent moon, and the silversmith's initials. The lamp is richly adorned with decorative motifs and repoussé and engraved scenes: a rural landscape with a horse-drawn plow, windmill, trees, and ornate, asymmetrical acanthus scrolls on the sides. It stands on four elegantly curved legs with stylized feet, complemented by a decorative handle with a Rococo flourish and an elongated, slightly upturned spout equipped with a chain securing the lid.
