1950s German Alpine Pendant Light Carved Painted Wood Climber with Lantern

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.
