About the Item

Art Deco emerged from the 1925 Paris Exposition, celebrating craftsmanship, modern materials, and stylised forms - balancing decorative flair with functional clarity. European designers became known during this period for combining bold forms with the durability of fine materials to create sophisticated lighting models like this set of three wall lamps. These lamps perfectly marry strong edges with rounded curves to obtain the ideal balance of form. The set is constructed from patinated brass, and the material’s tones elegantly highlight both its age and craftsmanship. The interplay between the rich patina of the brass and the milk-white shades create a harmonious contrast, while the symmetrical arrangement reinforces the balance and rhythm central to Art Deco design. The visual interest of this set is accentuated by the form of the hands that suspend from the wall mounting to the body of the lamps - reminiscent of a hand holding a torch or even a wine glass. When lit, the lamps create an exceptionally atmospheric light, giving the brass a warm colour. Wall lamps such as this are a timeless example of how thoughtful craftsmanship can result in lighting fixtures that transcend their utilitarian purpose, becoming works of art in their own right. Today, we consider Art Deco and the early 20th century era a golden age for lighting design. During these decades, some of the most significant luminaries were created, and remain highly sought-after today. This wall lamp set bridges sculptural presence and domestic functionality. It embodies the enduring qualities of the Art Deco movement in Europe: geometric refinement, tonal richness, and atmospheric light. The qualities of this set transform it into a bold design statement, while still able to complement a modern space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The lamps have recently been rewired and reconditioned. The glass has some imperfections. Due to the nature and age of the materials, the item may have some marks, scratches, and discolouration. The lamps are compatible with E26 / E27 (standard) fittings. All lighting can be converted for US usage. Dimensions: 4.33 in W x 6.69 in D x 11.49 in H 11 cm W x 17 cm D x 29 cm H
