1950s German Alpine Pendant Light Carved Wood Climber with Lantern

About the Item

Charming 1950s German Carved Wood Mountaineer Pendant Lamp with Yellow Glass Lantern This delightful German figural pendant lamp from the 1950s features a meticulously hand-carved mountaineer, crafted from linden wood and full of whimsical character. The smiling figure, clad in traditional Alpine attire, is shown mid-climb, grasping a rope with one hand while holding an ornate lantern in the other. The lantern itself is made of metal with warm yellow glass panels that create a cozy, inviting glow when lit. The figure is finished in natural, earthy tones—soft brown hues of the jacket and boots, a dusty rose for the shorts, and subtle flesh tones for the face and limbs. These hand-applied finishes enhance the texture and lifelike quality of the carving. An additional charming detail: the figure carries a small wooden ice axe that doubles as a pen, adding a playful touch. The ceiling canopy is carved in the shape of an Alpine Edelweiss flower, enhancing the mountain-themed aesthetic and lending the piece a unique sculptural quality. • Total height: approx. 56 cm / 22 inches • Figure width: approx. 18 cm / 7 inches • Figure depth: approx. 16 cm / 6.3 inches The pendant lamp evokes the beauty and nostalgia of the Bavarian Alps and is sure to be a conversation piece in any interior. A perfect gift for mountain lovers or collectors of Black Forest carvings. Fitted with a socket for an E14-size light bulb. In good vintage condition with light signs of age and wear. As with all vintage or antique lighting, we recommend installation by a qualified electrician.
