About the Item

A fine example of an antique Syrian table lamp hand crafted in pierced brass having a crescent moon and star finial for spiritual guidance over a shade with original glass beaded fringe and base perforated with symbolic designs, and with original silk lining, lighted. Separate switch for base light. Pull chains for upper lights. Syrian brass lamps have a long history, with their roots in the metalwork of the Mamluk dynasty, which ruled over parts of Egypt and Syria from 1250 to 1517. During this period, skilled artisans in cities like Aleppo and Damascus were known for producing elaborate and decorated metal objects. While lamps were initially used for both religious and secular purposes, by the 14th century, they were primarily commissioned by the Mamluk elite for mosques, mausoleums, and religious schools. Syrian brass lamps with intricate filigree patterns and dangling beads were also produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The technique for inlaid metalwork spread rapidly in the 13th century, with many metalworkers fleeing the Mongol invasion and bringing their skills to Syria. Base: 8.5” diameter
