Mazzega Attibuted Pair of Nickel-Plated Metal and Murano Milk Glass Table Lamps

About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Original and peculiar pair of table lamps; the structure consists of a round nickel-plated metal base covered by plastic support on which the switch is housed, above this base, off-center, is fixed a round frame, also made of nickel-plated metal, inside it, we find the connection for the one large bulb and it is on this frame that the glass sphere is put to cover the light point, which can be solidly stopped with three screws placed on the edge of the frame and on the bottom of it there are four ventilation holes for cooling. The offset of the two metal parts is very original and gives the lamp an aesthetically valuable movement. The spheres of the pair are made of handcrafted white blown lattimo sfumato glass, and at the top, they have a beautiful and distinctive hollow pattern whose center is a bright orange color. When lit, the shaded lattimo glass is expressed in all its particular beauty, and wonderful golden reflections emanate from the workmanship of the top. We can attribute them with good certainty to the Mazzega company of Murano, which often used these kinds of material color combinations in its enchanting works. The Mazzega company was founded in Murano in 1946 and began production at the highest level, destined for a high and exigent market; between the '50s and '70s was the creator of a profound artistic and conceptual renewal in the field of art glass in Murano; is of that period the collaboration with the elite of the 20th-century European art world: from Marc Chagall to Pablo Picasso, from Giò Ponti to George Braque and Jean Cocteau, from Fulvio Bianconi to Carlo Scarpa. From that time until today the Mazzega glassworks welcomes in its prestigious collections the best that is produced in Murano, its works enhance elegant environments all over the world. Lattimo, whose name originates from the word "latte," is an opaque white glass, the invention is dated to about 1450 in Murano with the aim of imitating Chinese porcelain that arrived in Venice, using lead lime and tin as opacifiers. These crystals are all the more homogeneous the higher the concentration of zinc oxide in the mixture. This type of glass is widely used in Murano, in giftware but especially in lighting because of its ability to diffuse light softly and evenly. Measures diameter cm.20, height cm.21. The lamps are in good condition. The electrical system is working but the wiring is European, the compatibility of the voltage in other countries must always be checked by an electrician before use. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.

Maison Jansen Attibuted Hollywood Regency Style French Table Lamp
By Maison Jansen
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects. Iconic and refined French table lamp; the elegant, hexagonal-section base is made of black lacquered wood and grows in height, at its top is a turned brass support on which rests a flattened sphere at the poles made of enameled metal, above the sphere is another brass support on which is housed the lamp holder. The design of the lamp is sumptuous but very proportionate, with a flashy but elegant decorative effect, right in the "Hollywood Regency" style. The lamp was created in Paris between 1970 and 1975; after carefully examining its manufacture and the materials used, we carried out careful and painstaking research and can attribute it with good certainty to the Maison Jansen, a French company that is an international emblem of luxurious style. In 1880, at the height of the Belle Époque, Jean-Henri Jansen emigrated from Holland to open a furniture store on Rue Royale in Paris. Maison Jansen was a success from the start. The shopkeeper was immediately impressed with his lavish, detailed window displays and unique approach to selling furniture within ten years Maison Jansen was no longer a store but a rapidly expanding design company with a wealthy and loyal clientele, clients he would retain for nearly a century. It was one of the most famous and influential interior decorating houses of the 20th century, frequented by royal families, high society figures, national leaders, and other luminaries of elite society. It was one of the first properly global design firms, one of the most influential voices of the twentieth century, an excellence that helped establish the Jansen style as an undisputed protagonist of design history. The genius of the company lay in its extraordinary ability to retrieve striking forms, colors, and materials from the past. The most sought-after pieces reflected the influence of past design, from the Louis XIV style to the Louis XVI style, from the Directoire era to imperial suggestions. In 1929, upon Jansen's death, the firm continued to expand its presence in the world under the leadership of Stèfan Boudin, Jansen's loyal collaborator; Stéphane Boudin was succeeded, after his death in 1967, by longtime collaborator and colleague Pierre Delbée, whose residence in Paris was world-famous as the pinnacle of Jansen's lush aesthetic, continued to represent the firm in its best designs until 1979, when the firm changed hands. The business did not last long after his departure, and Maison Jansen closed its doors in 1989, more than a century after its founding. Throughout its operation, Maison Jansen had very prestigious clients and commissions: William III of Holland, Alfonso XII of Spain, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Rockefellers, Elsie de Wolfe, Nancy Astor's granddaughter Nancy Lancaster, American millionaire Henry Channon, the Kennedys and Coco Chanel, the restoration of the White House, including the famous Red Room, during John Kennedy's administration, furnishing of Lady Olive Baillie's Leeds Castle...
