An impressive Art Deco metal and glass lamp Germany 1930s the
cold-painted metal maiden holding aloft two original molded
glass shades mounted on a black 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 not
popular...)...but once they were "rediscovered" in the 1970s
they have been popular ever since because they are so evocative
of the period.
