AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) table lamp, combining decorative elegance with handcrafted detail. Produced by the Argentor-Werke Rust & Hetzel, c. 1905
Height: 29 cm
Size: 20x15 cm
working condition
The base is square with gently curved edges and finished in a light, antiqued tone. Its sides feature pierced, stylized organic motifs reminiscent of plant forms, a hallmark of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. From the base rise several slender vertical rods, creating an airy, column-like structure that supports the upper section.
The lampshade has a polygonal, tent-like shape and is made of a light-colored material. Its lower edge is adorned with delicate hanging fringe, tipped with small colored elements that add subtle movement and visual interest. Near the top of the shade, understated star motifs provide additional decoration.
Overall, the lamp presents an elegant and ornamental appearance, characteristic of early 20th-century Art Nouveau design, while also creating a warm and atmospheric light in an interior setting.
