About the Item

Antique Luster of a Medieval Hunter ca. 1900s Item e7357 Antique chandelier with a plaster statue of a medieval hunter with crossbow and coat of arms. Plaque with hand-painted inscription “Hatz und Gejagd ist Edel Freud (Hunt and hunting is noble joy)”. Mounted on a pair of large stag trophies with hand-forged iron suspension and four electrified lamp sockets. Made in Germany around 1900. Very good condition, partially repainted, in working order - the wiring has recently been renewed 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. artfour is an owner-managed trading company that sells Black Forest wood carvings, antler furniture and an impressive variety of unique decorative items.
