Loetz
Circa 1905
An enchanting, colorful glow is emitted from this elegant Jugendstil table lamp by Loetz, which features the renowned Phaenomen Genre 2/207 glass shade, introduced in 1902. Crafted by Johann Loetz Witwe, the blown glass shade radiates a mesmerizing iridescence, with swirling orange patterns on green that capture and refract light in a stunning display.
The polished brass base, likely by a German firm, is adorned with leaf motifs and geometric cutouts that perfectly complement the artistry of the glass. The combination of the base and shade exemplifies the Jugendstil style, Germany’s counterpart to Art Nouveau, blending organic and geometric forms with refined craftsmanship. At the turn of the century, the shift from gas and oil to electric lighting revolutionized lamp design, allowing artists to focus on creating functional works of art without the constraints of open flames.
Johann Loetz Witwe was a trailblazer in the Art Nouveau movement, pushing the boundaries of glassmaking with innovative techniques and designs. The firm's groundbreaking work, including the Phaenomen Genre series, solidified its reputation as one of the most important glass manufacturers of its time. This lamp, with its perfect fusion of form and function, captures the spirit of an era that celebrated the intersection of art and modern technology.
