Even the wick is still in the reservoir. Having a rare, colorful and
intact acid green floral etched globe/shade The top has a a frosted
green band around it--with thin green lines running lengthwise.
Coversely there is frosted white band running around the bottom of the
globe. The theme of opposition and illusion becomes clear. Both bands
frame the delightful and elegant acid etched designs in white against
the green, even the green overall color is eveanescent.
This lamp has
the iconic art-nouveau elements in designs and representations: from
designs of flowers and sinewy vines into flowing arabesques, symbols
and a surrealism so rare and so important to this work. The green
globe is so elegant, yet complex.
The designs are intricate and
entrhalling representing a metamorphosis: flowers that also are
butterfly wings. Flower stems and flowers morphing into it atennae of a
surreal butterfly--or vise versa! Other floral elements and designs
morph into bird wings and abstract motifs, and forms that could be
stylized harps ,rolling hills and more
Again the globe is elegantly
compex and nuanced, enhanced by the play of the green glass, color,
light and perspective. Truly embodying the new art "art nouveau.
'constructs--a break from art of the past and litrally a new art.
Similarly the glass oil reservoir is hand made and has wonderful
applied three iridescent green bulbous appliques looking like lavas of
the greenest emeralds with sparkles captured in the glass globules which
divides the lamp horizontally in three .
Each ornate green globle has a
hand applied graudated textured angular glass design flowing from it to
the bottom of the textured oil well. The oil reservoir itself is
textured in a diamond grid but again there is even an illusion to the
scheme-where there are two different patterns can be seen.
The raised on
a turned oak base, with typical brass fittings h.66cm The
chimney/funnel that fits over the flame and extends above the
globe/shade is marked Imported Crystal--Beitray
Great signature antique

Seldom ever seen on the market--fabulous condition was lovingly cared
for over 100 years.
The style of the Art Nouveau movement was one
based on elaborate ornamental motifs and natural forms, often involving
leaves, flowers, vines and long female hair. The style often featured
exotic details and showed influences from many decorative art sources
from different parts of the world.
It was often erotic and the
concentration on decorative and glassware designers explored symbolic
or dreamlike themes, frequently of an erotic nature such as feminine
figures in light dresses and evanescent landscapes, but also ornamental
details, floral patterns and decorative elements being elevated to
central focus points.
In essence of Art Nouveau is described by
sensuous lines and subtle light, feminine figures and curly hair, fluent
dresses and attitudes, vegetal curves and willow leaves, twisting waves
and evanescent smoke, but also by controlled lines, geometric details,
colorful new shapes and Art Nouveau was a new art form, an original
artistic and decorative movement inspired by the idea of "total art".
Art Nouveau emphasized handcrafting as opposed to machine Man ufacturing, the use of new materials.
Although curving lines
characterize Art Nouveau, right-angled forms are also typical,
especially as the style was practiced in Scotland and in Austria.
Typical for this style was artistic application of modern industrial
techniques and modern materials (unmasked iron in architecture for
example).
And wonderfully preserved in examples at the Paris Le Metro
Principal subjects are lavish birds and flowers, insects and polyformic
femme fatale. Abstract lines and shapes are used widely as a filling for
recognizable subject matter.
Purposeful elimination of three-dimensions
is often applied through reduced shading. Art Nouveau artifacts are
beautiful objects of art, but not necessarily very functional. And
ironically became best known for the expensive, most beautiful items for
the upper class.
