An Art Deco spelter figure lady table lamp and clock, circa
1930, Germany - the spelter cold-painted gold and mounted on
a peach glass inset into an illuminated rectangular metal base,
backed by a peach mirror clock.
This figural lamp and clock is very stylish with the clock
movement having been replaced by a modern quartz. Clear resin
repair to underside of glass at a corner.
There is no information on the designer or foundry that created
these lamps and that is probably because of the fact that many of
the casting foundries seem to have been centred in or around the
city of Berlin, which was destroyed during WW2.
This is a pity because the lamps produced are of a very high quality
in terms of the metal formula they used and the actual casting. They
were produced as home decoration and sold through department and
furnishing stores and seemed to have been extremely popular in Great
Britain (as were Art Deco figures by Lorenzl and Preiss) at that
time, falling out of fashion in the 1940s (also any German made
products were understandably unpopular) but because they are so
evocative of the period they were "rediscovered" in the 1970s and
have been in style ever since.
