ABOUT PRODUCTID 13254
This early 20th-century German table lamp exemplifies Art Nouveau craftsmanship with its blend of warm, patinated brass and iridescent opal glass. The structure features a solid round brass base adorned with decorative tooling and a gracefully curved detailling, echoing Jugendstil motifs. The stem subtly twists upward, mimicking the organic lines of a plant tendril indicative of the period. The bulb holder at the top comes with a classic white rotary knob, while the shade is made of softly textured, matt glass with gently undulating edges—a design detail that captures and scatters the light with faint iridescence. Signs of patina and minor wear affirm the item’s authenticity, yet the lamp remains in very good vintage condition, with no visible structural damage and all original fittings intact.The lamp’s swirling stem recounts the spirit of fin-de-siècle Europe, an era when art and function harmonized in everyday objects. Its glass shade softly diffuses the light, transforming a quiet reading corner into a gentle stage for subtle reflections and shadows. The subdued brass surface—both warm and muted—evokes a moment in time when ordinary furnishings were also a canvas for skilled artisanship.This lamp could sit atop an antique desk, side table or cabinet within a classic or collector’s interior, lending a nuanced accent amidst early 20th-century wooden furniture or iridescent glassware. In a more modernist environment, it would stand out against a tranquil, neutral backdrop, letting its interplay of light on metal and glass become the room’s quiet centrepiece. The shade is best showcased near natural daylight, though it retains its decorative presence even after dusk.
