Artistic Arts and Crafts Wrought Iron Standard Floor Lamp, signed L. Van Boeckel

About the Item

Rare Louis Van Boeckel wrought iron floor lamp or Oil Lamp. This magnificently handcrafted Art Nouveau lamp was originally made as an oil lamp. At some point in time oil lamps went out of fashion and that is when this oil lamp was transformed into an electrical lamp. On top you can still see the rimb on which the oil reservoir would have rested. Obviously what makes this work of art so beautiful is the design and the incredible details and the natural shape of the leaves, the flowers etc. This is the work of a true artist and you will enjoy it every time you see and use it. Comes with embossed stamp ‘LVANBOECKEL’. Mind you, our fair price even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door within 4 days. Height: 66 inches . Louis Van Boeckel (1857-1944) of Lier, Belgium, was one of the most important ornamental blacksmiths of his time. He was an apprentice to the Verwilt factory in Lier, but developed most of his skills as an artisan by himself. His work, including some of his important animal depictions, can be found in the Timmermanns-Opsomer-Haus Museum in Lier. Van Boeckel’s numerous awards included the gold medal at the Exposition du Cercle Rubens (1890), le Prix de l’Art appliqué à la rue, Brussels (1893) and the Grande Médaille d’Or and title of Chevalier de l’ordre Royal du Cambodge at the Exposition Universelle in Paris (1900). He is also responsible for work on the grid of the city hall of Lier after 1890, the grave decorations for Czar Alexander III in St. Petersburg and Queen Marie-Henriette in Laeken, the staircases of honor of the Khedive Palace in Cairo and Benedictine monastery on Mount Olive, Jerusalem, parapets of National Bank of Athens, the cathedral of Santo Rio in Buenos Aires and the White House in Washington, D.C. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by.

  • Hand Forged Wrought Iron Arts & Crafts Style Table Lamp with Top Quality Roses
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Amazing quality and beautifully stylish Arts & Crafts style table or desk lamp. If you love the Arts and Crafts style in general and roses in particular then this could be the perfect table lamp for your home or (home) office. Because of the amazing details in the rose flower sculptures it must have taken the artisan weeks if not months to create this amazing lamp. The result of his skill and dedication is a truly unique and extremely detailed, wrought iron work of lighting art. Looking at the amazing details in the petals and even in the small leafs of these perfect rose sculptures it makes this table lamp a bit of an enigma. Why? Because we have never before seen a wrought iron table or desk lamp of this quality and detail that was NOT an antique. From the lack of wear and by looking at the glass, we think this lamp is no older than 25 years. It could be a completely restored and re-blackened antique light, but we can't be sure. This lamp really is a work of art, because the way in which the petals are curled and realistically detailed is almost impossible to do. In the daytime this is like a sculptural work of art and in the evenings, with the light switched on, it creates the perfect atmosphere no matter where you decide to have her on display. Whether you place this awesome lamp on your desk, on your credenza or on your sidetable, it will always make people stop and want to study it, because you just don't find this type of workmanship anymore. Professionally rewired for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well, this unique and mint condition Arts and Crafts style table lamp...
