About the Item

The European Art Deco movement of the 1930s was a beacon of innovation and style, and the period from which this brass and wood floor lamp emerged. This exquisite piece of functional art epitomises the elegance and sophistication that characterised the Art Deco era throughout Europe. With its brass body and off-white fabric shade, this lamp has an unmistakeable look that mixes artistic touches and materials to create an overall impression of elegant luxury. Although at the turn of the 20th century the ornate style of Classical Revival lighting was at its height of popularity, lighting design underwent a transformation in aesthetic and style from the 1920s through the 1930s. Evolving design sensibilities and the rise of electric lights contributed to the streamlined-yet-whimsical style we now associate with Art Deco lighting. This model hails from an era that favoured a cleaner, neater look, bridging the movement with Modernism. The structure emphasises the advantages of the use of metal, with brass being the ultimate material of choice at the time. Not only is this piece versatile, but the metal maintains its durability, while allowing for a beautiful vintage patina to develop over time. The top of the lamp features an empire shade - which gives an added soft dimension - juxtaposed with the strong metal body. The off-white shade further offers a natural, cosy feel through the visible fabric grain, which shines through even more when the lamp is turned on. Completing the look of the piece is the hardwood base with a spherical decor element. This element grounds the design in an effortless way, and provides a luxurious feel to an otherwise simple design. Easy to incorporate into any space with its graceful, slender shape, this lamp serves both a functional and an aesthetic role. This model exemplifies why the Art Deco style endures today.
