Bronze Art Deco Table Lamp, Europe ca 1930s

About the Item

This Green Patinated Bronze Art Deco table lamp from the 1940s, possibly once labeled model "4014," stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of Malmö Metallvarufabrik and the unique elegance of the Swedish Grace style. With its foot and base featuring a graceful standing woman and relief decoration of dolphins and mermaids, this lamp encapsulates the essence of both its era and its creators. It's a beautifully crafted table lamp, likely inspired by designs from Jacob Ängman and Just Andersen for GAB bronze, although missing a stamp on the underside. The large, sculptural lamp base is the main visual element, authentically representing the fantastic Swedish Grace style with beautifully molded floral decor and a circular, rimmed base. Malmö Metallvarufabrik, established in the early 20th century, became renowned for its production of high-quality metalwork pieces. Situated in the heart of Sweden, the company thrived during the Art Deco period, creating pieces that combined functionality with artistic expression. The firm's dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail earned it a prominent place in the design world, with its creations sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike. The lamp's design, influenced by the Swedish Grace style, reflects the elegance and sophistication characteristic of the era. Swedish Grace emerged in the 1920s as a reaction to the ornate styles that preceded it, embracing simplicity, elegance, and functionality. Characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and natural motifs, Swedish Grace captured the essence of modernity while celebrating traditional craftsmanship. Malmö Metallvarufabrik was at the forefront of this movement, seamlessly blending the principles of Swedish Grace with the allure of Art Deco. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the lamp serves a dual purpose as both a valuable bronze sculpture and a functional light source. The intricate detailing of the base, featuring the graceful figure of a woman and the playful depictions of dolphins and mermaids, elevates the piece to the realm of fine art. Each curve and contour is meticulously crafted, showcasing the skill and precision of the artisans at Malmö Metallvarufabrik. As a functional lamp, this piece illuminates its surroundings with a warm and inviting glow. The marriage of form and function exemplifies the ethos of Art Deco design, where beauty and utility coexist harmoniously. Today, this lamp stands as a symbol of a bygone era, a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of its creators. Its timeless appeal transcends trends, captivating admirers with its enduring beauty and charm. In the hands of discerning collectors, it continues to shine bright, illuminating both spaces and imaginations with its captivating presence. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some small marks and scratches on the bronze with a natural and beautiful heavy greenish and bronze patina. Dimensions: 10.43 in ⌀ x 13.98 in H 26.5 cm ⌀ x 35.5 cm H
