Arts & Crafts Hammered Copper Mushroom Table Lamp, Germany, 1910s

A rare and striking German Jugendstil table lamp in hammered copper, its domed mushroom shade adorned with applied bosses and chased circular motifs around the perimeter, set atop a slender turned wooden column rising from a circular copper base with matching bun feet. The rich, hand-worked surface texture and warm, deeply patinated copper give the piece a handcrafted quality that places it firmly within the finest tradition of German Arts and Crafts decorative metalwork of the early twentieth century. Recently rewired and in working order.
