Antique Table or Desk Lamp with Symbolic Dove Sculpture and Flowery Shade

About the Item

Rare and hand-painted table lamp with a deeper meaning. In centuries past many home accessories for the 'well to do' were made with difficult and time consuming techniques and very often they had a deeper meaning. Internationally doves are symbols for our life spirit and our soul. Doves symbolically also represent femininity and maternity. With that in mind this truly rare and hand-painted dove table lamp could make a special gift in various family circumstances, such as the birth and celebration of a newborn or the loss of a loved one. We cannot find another one anywhere in the world and we are proud to be able to offer this rare lamp in such excellent condition and good working order. It is rewired for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and when purchased by an American client we will attach an American power plug so that it can be used and enjoyed upon arrival. Again great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing & worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 17.7 x 9.8 x 9.1 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 900+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • French Art Deco Opalescent Glass Table or Desk Lamp with Stylish Bison Sculpture
    By Edmond Etling
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Rare and stylish bison sculpture lampby EDMOND ETLING. This beautiful and truly artistic Art Deco table lamp comes with the signature "Etling France" and model number. Edmond Laurent Etling (23 June 1878 – around 1940) was a French art dealer, gallery owner, designer and a manufacturer of high-quality decorative objects made of bronze, ceramics and art glass in the Art Deco style. His company La Societe Anonyme Edmond Etling, founded in Paris in 1909, manufactured decorative objects and commissioned sculptors and artists, including Georges Béal, Demétre Chiparus, Claire Colinet, Armand Godard, Geneviève Granger, Marcel Guillard, Maurice Guiraud-Rivière, Géza Hiecz, Fanny Rozet, and Lucille Sévin. Other artists that worked with Etling for casting their statuettes included Aurore Onu, Marcel Bouraine, Pierre Le Faguays, Raymonde Guerbe and André Vincent Becquerel. Etling is known for light blue opalescent objects such as plates and bowls, which were also produced in gray and frosted glass. Most items bore the cast signature "Etling France" followed by a model number related to the Choisy-le-Roi catalogue. In 1910, Etling was awarded the diplome d'honneur at Brussels International (1910). In 1923, he was awarded the Grand Prix in Paris. In 1940, Etling closed his shop due to World War II. Because Etling was of Jewish descent, he was sent to a Nazi concentration camp, where he died. This early 1900s, sculptural table lamp clearly has many typical bison features making it easy to tell from further away as well. The overal design and opalescent colors of this bison on a hand carved wooden base makes this work of lighting art an absolute joy to own and look at. And with the light switched on, this art glass table lamp creates a warm light that makes every room an even greater pleasure to be in. This is the ideal light for a (private) library or for a desk, but this bison sculpture beauty also makes a great gift. This work of art table lamp is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage the world over and when purchased by an American client we will also attach an American power plug so it can be used and enjoyed upon arrival. Mind you, our price for this rare light includes perfect packing (in a custom made and strengthened box) and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x width x depth including wooden base: 7.7 x 9 x 4.8 inches. Height x width x depth of the glass bison...

    Ridge Lamp - Zig Zag by Louis Jobst Expressing mass and material quality are common threads found in Jobst’s iconic collection. The Ridge lamp creates a striking silhouette that echo early 20th century design and sculpture. The geometric form of the oak base is contrasted with a smooth face and a ridged textured surface.
