Description from the seller
Antique or vintage style, Art Nouveau or early Art Deco pendant lamp, often called a (hallway lamp).
Main features of the lamp:
Lampshade: Made of frosted or etched glass, decorated with embossed rose or flower motifs. Its shape often resembles an acorn or teardrop.
Fitting: The material of the upper part and chain is typically brass or bronze, which has patinated over time.
Period: The style ranges from the early 1900s (Art Nouveau) to the 1950s (Neoclassical).
This type of glasswork and lamp style is most characteristic of France, where the Art Nouveau and later the Art Deco movements were the most influential.
Based on the stylistic features of the lamp, the following can be determined:
French origin: The production of frosted, embossed glass shades with floral patterns (especially roses) was most common in France in the early 20th century. Famous French glassmakers and factories such as Muller Frères or Degue worked in a similar style.
Art Nouveau roots: Natural forms, such as rose and lotus motifs, are the basic characteristics of Art Nouveau, a style that began its conquest in Europe from Belgium and France.
European spread: Although the center was France, the style quickly became popular in England and Germany, where local manufactories also produced similar, brass-mounted, acorn or teardrop-shaped "fish lamps".
Overall, it is a classic French-style antique item that was a popular decoration in European bourgeois homes between the 1900s and 1930s.
We can post it carefully packaged, in an insured, registered package.
