Art Deco Alabaster and Brass Pendant Light with Dark Veining, Germany, 1920
About the Item
Large white alabaster with pronounced dark veining, suspended on a refined brass structure with three internal light points.
A striking and generously proportioned Art Deco pendant light from Germany, dating to the 1920s, is defined by its beautifully veined alabaster bowl and balanced architectural suspension.
The wide alabaster shade displays a soft white base tone accented by expressive dark veining, which becomes especially vivid when lit. This natural patterning gives the piece a sculptural and almost landscape-like depth, making each viewing angle visually captivating. The size of the bowl enhances light diffusion, creating a warm, atmospheric glow.
The fixture is suspended by three slender brass supports with a subtle aged patina, converging into a simple and elegant canopy. The restrained metalwork allows the alabaster to remain the visual focus, in line with the clarity and material emphasis typical of Art Deco design.
The lamp is fitted with three new porcelain sockets suitable for E27 (E26) light bulbs, ensuring practical use across both European and US interiors.
Overall, in good condition with slight signs of aging. The brass shows a light, even patina, while the alabaster displays typical age-related characteristics consistent with the material.
Installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.
