Hand-Blown Murano Glass Green and Gold Leaf Table Lamp on Mahogany Base, 1940s

About the Item

An absolutely stunning and very uncommon 1940s Italian Murano hand-blown green glass table lamp with gold leaf accents on a turned wood mahogany base. Inverted balloon-shaped body presents from a distance as olive green, and features a shimmering and entrancing gold leaf-infused diamond pattern with copper flecks that calls to mind snake or serpent scales, or more fantastically—yet perhaps most accurately—a dragon egg. When closely examined, however, or when viewed with it lit brightly from behind, the actual brilliant emerald green color of the glass is beautifully revealed. Body has a clear glass multi-lobed foot that stands on a very handsome turned wood mahogany base. Brass, copper, and metal fittings, and brass socket and three-way switch, are original. Cord and brass harp and finial are likely original, or at the very least, vintage. Dimensions listed are of base diameter and height to top of finial. Diameter of body is 7.63 in. Height to top of body is 18.5 in., and height to top of socket is 22 in.

Hans Grag for Gump’s Hammered Copper and Brass Table Lamp, 1950s
By Gumps, Hans Grag
Located in San Francisco, CA
Very uncommon 1950s Hollywood Regency hammered copper & brass tall table lamp custom made exclusively by Hans Grag for Gump’s of San Francisco. Skillfully hand-shaped and hammered copper half-dome cap and gracefully worked copper (or copper-toned brass) staves with brass rod spacers combine to convey a supremely elegant and perfectly-proportioned botanical aesthetic. Very subtle variances in tone and texture provide an added level of sophistication to the nicely muted finish. Hans Grag signature and "Gump’s" stamped into side of base. Brass stem with original brass finial, harp, and socket. Original large pleated black silk drum shade featuring beaded gold brocade and velvet trim is included, though an update would better serve the lamp. Grag Studios—with a decades-long reputation for superbly conceived and crafted decorative metal work—was founded by Hans in 1952 in California, with its retail...
