AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For the connoisseur of authentic European design: a rare and identical pair of antique Jugendstil / Wiener Secession wall lamps. These monumental fixtures are of absolute top quality and are in excellent, ready-to-use condition.
History & Hallmarks
The lamps were crafted by the renowned Austrian metalware and silver atelier Würbel & Czokally (Vienna), active between 1869 and 1925. This atelier was known for its close ties to the heyday of the Wiener Werkstätte and the Vienna Secession. The authenticity is fully documented by the historical marks in the casting:
• The official factory mark "W & C" is cast on the back of the brass arms.
• The socket holder bears the original patent/model number 21.312.
Design & Style Features
The lamps are a textbook example of the geometric Wiener Secession style (circa 1900–1910). Rather than the flowing natural motifs typical of French-Belgian Art Nouveau, these lamps are adorned with a sleek and elegant linear motif. The solid brass back plates feature a beautifully open-work, geometric cut-out motif. This breaks up the solidity of the fixture, provides optical lightness, and creates a subtle play of shadows and light on the wall. The lamps are equipped with the original, damage-free pear-shaped shades of softly satinized glass.
Technical condition & restoration
The lamps have recently been fully and expertly restored in terms of electricity. The internal wiring has been renewed with safe, modern insulation, preserving the classical appearance. The lamps are technically 100% in order, safe, and ready for wall mounting.
