Exceptional Fritz Heckert Gilded Bronze Table Lamp with Iridescent Glass, Neoclassical Design, ca. 1900
This exceptional table lamp, standing an impressive 70 cm tall, is a striking example of the harmonious union between Neoclassical design and the refined glass artistry of the Jugendstil period. The mount is executed in richly gilded bronze, formed in a classical tripod structure with elegant claw feet and finely profiled lines.
Glass by the renowned glassmaker Fritz Heckert is mounted at both the top and the underside of the lamp. The iridescent surface displays a magnificent interplay of greens, blues, and purples, characteristic of the most sophisticated creations from his hand.
Encircling the lamp is a lush wreath of gilded bronze boxwood leaves, within which small lights are set. Between the legs hang finely detailed gilded bronze garlands, accentuating the Neoclassical character and lending the lamp a regal presence.
An original rotary switch is set into the base, formerly used to turn the lamp on and off. For safety reasons, it is not connected. The entire electrical wiring has been recently replaced, ensuring the lamp is safe for contemporary use.
The care and craftsmanship with which this piece was made are of exceptional quality. It is a rare and prestigious collector’s item, representing the highest artistic standards of its time in both materials and design.
