About the Item

Early 20th century Art Déco metal and glass linear lighting fixture from the former Palacio Sudamérica, Uruguay By: Raymond Subes (in the style of) Material: metal, glass, crystal Technique: cast, molded, polished, metalwork, frosted Dimensions: 31.5 in x 157.5 in x 59 in Date: early 20th century, circa 1920 Style: Art Déco, Art Nouveau Place of origin: Uruguay The grandeur of early 20th-century Art Déco architecture is embodied in this striking linear lighting fixture, originally part of the Palacio Sudamérica in Montevideo. Designed in 1927 by architect Juan M. Delgado for Cervecerías del Uruguay, the palace was an opulent landmark, renowned for its lavish interiors and refined craftsmanship. This suspended fixture showcases a meticulous balance of form and function. A polished metal framework extends horizontally, anchoring a central frosted crystal panel that diffuses light with a soft, ambient glow. Surrounding sockets provide additional illumination, enhancing its sculptural presence. The precision of the cast and molded elements reflects the technical mastery of the period, while the contrast between the sleek metal and the translucent glass highlights the era’s fascination with material interplay. A rare surviving element from a lost architectural icon, this piece speaks to the enduring sophistication of Art Déco design.
