Rare floor lamp by the Danish manufacturer Voss Belysning, the lamp is manufactured and desigend in the 1930’s, the lamp is a great of how the Danes had their own interpretation of Art Deco and in a way created their on more modernist style of Art Deco. Ernst Voss and Voss Belysning where in their time a very important part of Danish design history and were on level with designers and manufacturers like Louis Poulsen, Poul Henningsen, Lyfa and Fog Mørup, sadly they have over the years been forgotten which is very hard to understand when you see the quality of their designs. Ernst Voss was both an army man and metal worker and in many ways a very important part of the history of the town Fredericia where he lived. Ernst Voss should be known as the epitome of a determined and principled individual with an indomitable drive. This applies to his work as a military man, business owner, city council member, and private person. His contributions to and work for Fredericia can hardly be overstated. Ernst Voss was born on November 17, 1826, in Aalborg and died at the age of 77 on December 8, 1903, after a long and exceptionally eventful life.

His father, Gustav Wilhelm Heinrich von Voss, was a major in Aalborg, so the military was not unfamiliar to Ernst Voss when he later chose to follow in his father’s footsteps. In his early years, however, Ernst Voss attended a Latin school and subsequently learned about agriculture. At the age of 19, he took over the farm Jomfrubakken near Mariager. The farm and agriculture became a quickly concluded chapter for Ernst Voss. In the spring of 1848, the First Schleswig War – the Three Years’ War – became a reality, and Voss enlisted at the age of 21. This would mark the beginning of a long, unbroken military career that only ended when he retired from the army at 52 in 1878. During the Three Years’ War, Ernst Voss first demonstrated his exceptional character. He participated in one of the early major battles at Schleswig on Easter morning, April 23, 1848, where he was in close combat with the enemy. He, along with over 200 Danish soldiers...
