We are looking at a table lamp of Art Nouveau style, probably produced between the 1950s and 1960s. The lamp features stained and leaded glass inspired by Tiffany Libélula from the early 20th century, decorated with floral motifs characteristic of this lighting style. The item measures approximately 50 cm in height and 30 cm in diameter. This type of glass lamps was commonly used to adorn luxurious interiors of homes and iconic buildings during the heyday of Art Nouveau and into the mid-20th century.
Main Features
1. Materials and Manufacturing Technique
The tulip is made of stained glass with lead came, a technique widely used in lamps of various kinds during the early 20th century. The floral motifs that can be seen in the piece.
It reflects light elegantly, creating a brilliant and, in many cases, rainbow effect that was highly sought after in the majestic rooms of the time.
Art Nouveau style
The Art Nouveau style emerged from the late 19th century and early 20th century and continued to influence decoration until the 1960s. It reflected a growing fascination with natural materials and curved, wavy designs. The lamp shown in the image resembles this movement, especially in terms of the symmetry details present in the bronze that makes up its main structure, and in the geometry of the glass pieces, perfectly aligned in circles or squares depending on the design.
3. Historical Context
Art Nouveau was a symbol of beauty and a sweet look at classicism, employing luxury materials such as bronze, which, together with the introduction of electricity, transformed interior design. This type of lighting was typically found in luxurious mansions, theaters, and grand lobbies. The 1920s was a challenging decade worldwide due to the Great Depression; however, this style continued to spread because of what it represented: luxury, modernity, and functionality.
