Vienna Secessionist Bronze Light Fixture - c. 1900's, Austria

Antiques : Lamps, Lighting

 

Extraordinary Vienna Secessionist four-light chandelier / hanging lamp / ceiling light fixture. Its bronze structure is decorated with an elegant, linear design typical of the Vienna Secessionist movement. The fixture has four lights in total, a larger one in the center surrounded by three smaller lights all protected by milky, textured glass shades that appear to be original. The larger shade has a different texture and is slightly iridescent. The Vienna Secessionist movement (1897-1939) represented a protest of Austria's younger generation against the art establishment, the equivalent of what Art Nouveau was to France and the Arts & Crafts movement was to England. In very good used condition with small imperfections. This lamp can be taken apart to reduce its size and minimize shipping costs. Please ask questions, request additional photos and shipping costs before buying.

Measurements: Maximum height 33" by 19.75" diameter approximately (100 cm by 50 cm) not including shades. Weight: 23 lbs. approximately (10.4 Kgs.) including 4 shades.
