Art Deco Brass Hanging Lamp, Europe First half of the 20th Century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Art Deco, emerged from the 1925 Paris Exposition, it celebrated craftsmanship, modern materials, and stylised forms - balancing decorative flair with functional clarity. European designers became known during this period for combining bold forms with the durability of fine materials to create sophisticated lighting models like this hanging lamp.

This lamp exemplifies the geometry and material richness characteristic of the movement. It is constructed from patinated bronze, the material’s deep tones elegantly highlight both its age and craftsmanship. Suspended from a slender rod, the structure connects to a horizontal bar that supports two round lampshades, delicately placed to diffuse the light softly and evenly. The body is accented with geometric details, including subtle flares and a stepped ornamentation, which underscore the lamp’s architectural quality. The lamp perfectly marries strong edges with rounded curves to obtain the ideal balance of form. The interplay between the rich patina of the bronze and the milk-white shades create a harmonious contrast, while the symmetrical arrangement reinforces the balance and rhythm central to Art Deco design. Every element, from the decorative finial to the proportions of the rod, reflects careful attention to detail and the pursuit of elegance in everyday lighting.

This ceiling lamp bridges sculptural presence and domestic functionality. It embodies the enduring qualities of the Art Deco movement in Europe: geometric refinement, tonal richness, and atmospheric light. The qualities of this model transform it into a bold design statement, while still able to complement a modern space.
