Very Rare 1920s Art Deco French Pink Mushroom Lamp by Daun for Lorraine / Light /Art

Original signed Daum + Nancy cameo style mushroom lamp. Very unusual ornate hand blown cased cameo glass with translucent pattern in both the top and base stand utilizing layers of glass to create this fascinating circle design. The shade is signed etched “Lorraine”. This is a stunning example circa 1925 and a pattern not seen often.

A very rare and beautiful little lamp, it has been restored and rewired. Has a few slight marks and imperfections, but these are consistent with age.

Dimensions:

27cm H x 16cm x 10cm

About Daum Glass:

Daum excelled in the production of Art Deco glassware and its designers favored geometric forms as well as thicker and more transparent glass which contrasted with slender shapes and flowing lines of Art Nouveau glassware so popular at the turn of the century.. In the 1920s, the Art Nouveau colors inspired by nature changed to the colors which dominated contemporary abstract paintings, such as topaz, blues and ambers. Designs were increasingly monochromatic and variations of moon white, beige, glacier blue and light yellows were particularly popular. Vases, bowls and lamp shades no longer relied on the glassblowing technique but were cast and decorated with cut and acid-etched stylized patterns, as illustrated by this vase. The new manager Paul Daum was chemist by training and experimented with the use of hydrofluoric acid to vary surface textures of the glass. Towards the middle of the 1920s, friezes, volutes, curved beams or chevron patterns gave rhythm to compositions.

We apologise for any confusion this might cause to our customers. 

As we specialise in bespoke, one-off pieces, at Modern Antics, not one of our item’s shares the same dimensions as another. This makes it impossible for us to standardise our shipping rates, but is also another reason why every of our items is so special.

Additionally, as a small business, the length of time it would take us to calculate the cost of shipping every item, to every country, let alone every city in the world, would mean we wouldn’t have any time to provide our customers with the items we work so hard to make available to you.

Large items, such as tables or sideboards, that cannot be sent using a standard shipping service, require a bespoke crate, which is essential to keep them safe and to be fully insured by our freight couriers. For more information on these crates, please get in touch.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us, with any questions or queries you might have. We love to chat to any potential customers or anyone looking for some advice, on interior design, furniture or anything in between.

Yours sincerely,

Elizabeth
