VTG Gustav Gurschner-2 Repro Art Nouveau Maiden Tree Lamp + Red Strata Shade
Large Art Nouveau Figure Lamp. An Abstract Tree Trunk. Large Art Glass Shade. This lamp is on display for sale at an art gallery. Presented for Your Consideration. A bashful beauty in Victorian attire peeks out from behind an abstract tree with her body flat and arms around the trunk. Her lower torso has begun to disappear into the textured bronze timber and the two are becoming one. The graceful upsweep of the base leads to 3 great shade holder arms that span like branches, 13 inches from one decorative tip to the next. The unique figure-base design allows for viewing and enjoyment from multiple points of view. Tipping the scales at over 9 lbs, this large figure lamp base is in very good condition and in working order with minor surface blemish consistent with age. I see beautiful blue-green patina build-up around her neck and shoulders. I detect no structural issues. A magnet does not attract. All electric parts appear to be in good shape, including the old socket and wire. The “Red Strata” art glass shade colors were inspired by the conglomerate rock of northern Arizona with soft Tuscan ivory textured marble as a backdrop. Increasing levels of light through an electric dimmer will summon the cherry red flavor from its complex color matrix. One of three ever made. Height (base to top of fitter) – 18 1/2 inches. Weight – 9 lb 1 oz. Base Dimensions – 6 x 6 x 6. Art Glass Shade Numbers. Width – 14 1/2. Depth – 13 1/2. Weight – 8 lb 3 oz. Diameter of Bottom Opening. Swap fitter/holder or install grommet and 3rd screw. Add felt pad to protect delicate surfaces. I made the art glass shade in my glass blowing studio in 2018 along with its 2 siblings. I acquired the vintage fixture with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business. This listing is for a genuine artifact of a bygone era that will be a pleasure to welcome into a new home. The pictures are an important part of the description. All reasonable offers welcome.
