Presenting a lovely pair of Arts and Crafts lighthouse form table lamps. American Arts & Crafts movement, circa 1900-20. The lamps are in the form of lighthouses with hand beaten copper roofs which hinge to access the bulb. Turned copper finial to the top. The roofs have little air vents on all sides. The roofs sit on a bronzed base with frosted slag glass panels on all sides. The pillars supporting the ‘house’ are enameled to resemble mottled green marble or malachite. The sit on circular turned and fluted bases. They have been re-wired for safety but you will see from the photos that the original wire and plugs are from the early 20th Century, thereby confirming the genuine age of these superb and UNIQUE pieces. The Arts and Crafts movement emerged during the late Victorian period in England, the most industrialized country in the world at that time. Anxieties about industrial life fueled a positive revaluation of handcraftsmanship and precapitalist forms of culture and society. Arts and Crafts designers sought to improve standards of decorative design, believed to have been debased by mechanization, and to create environments in which beautiful and fine workmanship governed. The Arts and Crafts movement did not promote a particular style, but it did advocate reform as part of its philosophy and instigated a critique of industrial labor; as modern machines replaced workers, Arts and Crafts proponents called for an end to the division of labor and advanced the designer as craftsman. The British movement derived its philosophical underpinnings from two important sources: first, the designer A. W. N. Pugin (1812-1852), whose early writings promoting the Gothic Revival presaged English apprehension about industrialization, and second, theorist and art critic John Ruskin (1819-1900), who advocated medieval architecture as a model for honest craftsmanship and quality materials. Ruskin’s persuasive rhetoric influenced the movement’s figurehead (and ardent socialist) William Morris (1834-1896), who believed that industrialization alienated labor and created a dehumanizing distance between the designer and manufacturer. Morris strove to unite all the arts within the decoration of the home, emphasizing nature and simplicity of form. The American Arts and Crafts movement was inextricably linked to the British movement and closely aligned with the work of William Morris and the second generation of architect-designers, including Charles Robert Ashbee (1863-1942), who toured the United States, and Charles Francis Annesley Voysey...
