An Art Deco spelter lady lamp, circa 1930, Germany - the
cold-painted gold and enamelled figure gazing into an alabaster
globe, globe mounted on a dark granite base.
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.
