About the Item

Charming 1950s German Alpine Pendant Light with Carved and Painted Wooden Climber This delightful German figural pendant light from the 1950s features a beautifully hand-carved and hand-painted wooden figure of a mountaineer, styled in traditional Alpine attire. The smiling climber dangles playfully from a rope, grasping an ornate metal lantern with textured glass panels, which casts a soft and atmospheric glow. The figure is richly painted in earthy, warm tones—deep brown pants, a red-brown jacket, and a green hat adorned with a feather—capturing the spirit and detail of Alpine folk art. His expressive face, carefully painted features, and dynamic pose add a lifelike and storybook charm to the piece. The lantern below is crafted from metal with decorative scrollwork and mottled textured glass. The canopy above, styled like a mountain flower or acanthus bloom, completes the Alpine motif. • Adjustable height: approx. 64–98 cm / 25.2–38.6 inches • Figure width: approx. 18 cm / 7 inches • Figure depth: approx. 16 cm / 6.3 inches Equipped with a new E14 socket, ready for use. In good vintage condition with minor signs of age and wear. As with all vintage or antique lighting, we recommend professional installation. A charming tribute to Bavarian mountain life—this pendant will surely be a unique and cheerful focal point in any space, and an ideal gift for lovers of the Alps and Alpine craftsmanship.
