Brass Modernist lantern from Spain, dating to the 20th century, with 26×26×42 cm dimensions, blue, amber and transparent stained glass panels, a perforated dome top and an ornate base, not in working order and showing minor signs of wear.
Description from the seller
It is a lantern that fully breathes the spirit of modernism from the early years of the 20th century, when metal and colored glass combined to create small luminous architectures. The brass structure, worked with geometric cutouts and vegetal motifs, shows that taste for the curvilinear line and ornament that characterized the era: nothing is flat, nothing is simple, everything is designed so that light can filter, break, and multiply.
The stained glass panels, in blues, amber, and clear tones, provide the chromatic counterpoint typical of modernism, evoking both domestic stained glass and the aesthetics of cafés and urban passages of the time. Each panel works as a small decorative window, and the whole gains an almost jewel-like architectural miniature air.
The upper cap, with its perforated dome, and the base, equally worked, complete the sensation of a handcrafted piece conceived to be admired even when turned off. When lit, it should project a play of shadows and colors that turns any room into a more intimate and enveloping space.
In short, an authentic modernist lamp: elegant, expressive, faithful to its era, and still capable of adding character and warmth to a contemporary interior.
Shipped with tracking and careful packaging.
