🕰 Period & Style
Ca. 1905–1925
Art Nouveau/Jugendstil, with subtle neoclassical influences
⸻
🛠 Material & Finish
• Heavy cast brass
• Original, unpolished patina
• Richly detailed arms with animal/mythical motifs
• Symmetrical, high-quality construction
The original gold finish has softened over time and partially disappeared. This contributes to the authentic, lived-in character and is emphatically not a restoration.
⸻
💡 Opal glass shades (exceptional)
• Three original opal glass shades
• No scratches, no cracks, no chips
• Very even glass structure
The condition of the shades is exceptional and rarely found in lamps of this age. This indicates years of very careful use and makes the lamp even more collectible.
⸻
⚙️ Fittings & electrical details (typical for its age)
• Original brass fittings
• Fitted with porcelain rings
• Classic screw fittings, period correct
This combination of brass and porcelain is typical of early electric lighting from the early 20th century and underscores the authenticity and dating of the lamp.
⸻
⚙️ Technical condition
• Mechanically in excellent condition
• Electrically fully functional and safe
• Construction stable and solid
A missing M3 nut from the mounting screw of one glass shade has been professionally replaced; The accompanying screw has also been replaced. This small, functional modification has been neatly executed and is solely intended to ensure safe and correct use of the lamp. In addition, two small mounting screws have been replaced in the past. These are normal, period-specific maintenance procedures that do not detract from the appearance or authenticity.
⸻
💡 Light sources
Supplied without light sources, as this choice is highly personal and depends on the desired light color, ambiance, and application.
