About the Item
Antique Handcarved Lusterweibchen of a Wine Waitress ca. 1920
An antique lusterweibchen chandelier of a wine waitress lady holding a wine glass and a wine jug. The luster is made of wood with handpainted finish and mounted on a large pair of deer antlers. It comes with handforged iron suspension and 2 glass shades. Manufactured in Germany around 1900. Very good condition, partly repainted, jug and glass replaced. The cabling is renewed and in working order.
A characteristic example of a lusterweibchen is a wooden female bust with a lofty but pleasant glance. The sculpture is fastened with iron chains hanging from the ceiling, the body is fixed to a deer antler and shaped as a chandelier with wrought-iron candle holders. The first chandeliers which are designated to the so-called lusterweibchen can be assigned to the end of the 14th century. People were fascinated by the combination of art and nature and the impressive design emitted a subliminal apotropaic magic. Famous artists such as Veit Stoss, Albrecht Dürer and Tilman Riemenschneider designed marvellous unique lusterweibchen and set standards for many successors. From the second half of the 19th century until the beginning of World War I a fashionable domicile was equipped with a lusterweibchen. An industry of lusterweibchen manufacturers evolved and lusterweibchen could be purchased from catalogues. Lusterweibchen are multifaceted. Noble ladies, Dianas, mermaids and guilds are fondly used characters. But they are not majority female. There are also well-known mystical creatures (dragons, chimeras, animal and hybrid creatures) and popular lustermaennchen.
