Copper and Wood Art Deco Table Lamp, Europe ca 1930s

About the Item

The European Art Deco movement of the 1930s was a beacon of innovation and style, and one of its timeless creations was this copper and wood table lamp. This exquisite piece of functional art epitomizes the elegance and sophistication that characterized the Art Deco era throughout Europe. Designers have been consistently inspired by nature in their work, especially during the Art Deco and mid-century eras, with curvilinear shapes still being an ongoing font of inspiration. The particular mushroom silhouette of this lamp, lovable as it may be, has once again gained wide popularity. The mushroom lamp is exactly what it sounds like: a funghi-shaped light fixture defined by its shade. The style’s recent popularity has much to do with the heart-warming light emitted from its undeniably whimsical design; making cramped spaces feel cosy, especially with the copper’s nice warm tone. This lamp has even more to offer with a thick solid wood stem. Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that the wood is carved into a scalloped shape which becomes especially visible in the ring of lighter wood that interrupts the stem cleverly. With its versatile shapes and materials, this mushroom lamp is quite special. The mushroom shape, a stylemark of Art Deco design, reflects the movement's emphasis on geometric forms and symmetrical balance. The lamp's broad, rounded cap showcases the round glass panel on the top that lets through the atmospheric, cosy light. It is these details that make this model special, even if measured against its contemporaries. Copper, with its malleability and enduring beauty, was a favoured material during the Art Deco period. It allowed artisans to fashion intricate designs, such as this lamp's distinctive mushroom shape, which evokes a sense of modernity and organic harmony. This form represents the Art Deco aesthetic's departure from the ornate excesses of the past, embracing sleek lines and more minimalistic elegance. It radiates the essence of an era defined by progress, luxury, and the pursuit of beauty in everyday life. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The copper has a beautiful patina with some marks and discolouration. Dimensions: 13.97 in ⌀ x 16.33 in H 35.5 cm ⌀ x 41.5 cm H
