About the Item

Simple clean lines but deeply complex design, brilliantly poetic if you see it, uninteresting and repetitious if you can't. Inspired by the sinuous curves of flowing flowers and contrasting geometric lines from turn of the century architecture, sculptural, asymmetrical, expressive, eloquent, stylized fanciful scrollwork, it's rustically sophisticated, brutally stylish, whimsical and elegantly aged to patina perfection. The simplistic yet majestic sculpted stand (freestanding screen) presents with magnificent bold polychome decoration, provided by remnants of the original distressed, weathered, faded chippy paint that remains, adding a profound, ever evolving creative touch and distinctive style to your home or garden, inside or outside, this beautiful, unsigned Art Nouveau folk art plant or candle stand sculpture is sure to never be forgotten. Born in France in the late 19th / early 20th century, hand-crafted, forged and painted, wonderfully executed in period, Art Nouveau taste, architectural, a geometric motif is used to create an unusual form with large open spaces, giving a light airy vibe, while fluid, flowing lines give the dynamic feel of motion, both directly in contrast to the other and to the heavy iron medium. Presenting with a pair of gracefully curved supports forming an elongated semi-circular arch, reinforced with central "X" form vertical stretcher with artfully scrolled ends that enhances the charm of the piece while increasing overall stability. Adding function, texture and dimension, three highly scalloped circular flower form iron pedestals with pie crust edge, round inset and scrolled tail hook (can be used for hanging items) extend out in various direction and staggered height, with two to one side and one facing forward appearing to float in the air. Rising on sturdy trestle base decorated with scrolls. Circa 1900 Dimensions: 43.5" High, 19.5" Wide, 12.5" Deep.

19th Century Mexican San Miguel Wrought Iron Lantern
Located in Forney, TX
A most impressive and ornately decorated antique electrified hanging lantern from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico (New Spain). Exquisitely hand-crafted in the 19th century (possibly late 18th century), even though San Miguel was the first town in present day Mexico to win independence from the Spanish Empire in the early nineteenth century, this lantern displays strong European old world influence. Constructed of wonderfully patinated wrought iron and oxidized tin, tall cylindrical shaped, framed with intricate scrollwork, openwork, and an abundance of fiolate decoration in the delicate form of serrated acanthus leaves. Retaining the six original bubble glass panels. The interior having a central candelabra like independently hung fixture adorned with six faux candle flame light bulbs. Originally made before the invention of electricity, this lantern has been converted from candle light to modern day electricity, accepting standard candelabra bulbs. Faux flaming bulbs included. It can be used a variety of ways, including as an indoor hanging pendant lamp, chandelier, outdoor patio or covered entry way, or placed as a table lamp on a large console table or sideboard. Timelessly elegant, producing a warm silhouette and enchanting glow with breath-taking radiating patterns, that lends to creating an ambiance of cozy romantic warmth and rich sophisticated depth, visually striking and reminiscent of a magnificent Medieval wood burning fireplace. Dimensions (approx): 36" High, 21" Diameter In the mid-18th century the settlement city of San Miguel de Allende was at its height, and this was when most of its distinctive large mansions, palaces, and religious buildings were constructed, most still remaining today. The town was also home to the area's wealthy hacienda owners. At that time, it was one of the most important and prosperous settlements in New Spain with a population reaching 30,000. By comparison, in the mid-18th century Boston...
