VTG Art Deco Nouveau Arts & Craft Lamp. Female Figure / Warrior with Sword. Pulled Feather Art Glass Shade. I pack professionally to facilitate your damage-free receipt. And you will have to file your own claim. This lamp is presently on display for sale in a fine art gallery. Art Glass Shade Included. Presented for Your Consideration. An outstanding and rare find indeed. A female fighter in sparse functional attire wielding a mighty blade and perhaps once a banner now lost in the past, as discussed below. Befitting a fearless warrior, she is bare breasted to allow unencumbered armed movement and wears her hair up in a classical style. Parts of her legs are covered in strips of pleated fabric anchored by an Amazonian belt, again providing ample air flow and unrestricted movement. She stands firmly planted on a tiered rectangular base. A serpentine lamp stem winds its way behind her, in excellent condition, firmly attached to her back. It ends above her in a metal floral socket cover, original socket with a fitter shade holder and crowned by a beautiful petite vintage art glass shade with flowing colors and pattern. Her features are fine and expertly rendered. Some surface loss is present. The figure’s left hand is shaped to grasp an object, most likely a flag or banner post. Pulled and sculpted hot glass would also make an interesting medium for this purpose. The fabric covered wire is without a break and the old plug looks to be in good condition, with the paper cover still intact and in remarkably fine shape. The lamp is in good working order and all parts appear to be original and solidly assembled despite the passage of nearly a century. Height (from base to top of installed art glass shade) – 18 1/2 inches. Width – 9 1/2. 4 lbs 6 oz. (from base to top shade holder). 16 1/2 inches. Base – 4 x 3. Quezal / Steuben Pulled Feather fitter shade. Height – 5 inches. Width – 3 1/2. If you’re looking for a compelling object of art or an illuminating centerpiece for that special place or atmosphere, this rare beauty may be an ideally exceptional candidate.
