Edgar Brandt and Daum Nancy
Circa 1925
A striking collaboration between two masters of French Art Deco, this wrought iron and glass table lamp by Edgar Brandt and Daum Nancy exemplifies the movement’s synthesis of sculptural form and refined craftsmanship. The "Annam" model lamp reflects Brandt’s celebrated ability to elevate ironwork into an expressive art form, paired with Daum Nancy’s luminous glassmaking expertise. Together, they achieve a harmonious balance of strength and delicacy.
The composition is defined by its organic, vegetal character. The wrought iron shaft rises with rhythmic movement, composed of scrolling forms and stylized foliage that appear to grow naturally from the base. Pierced ovals create an interplay of solid and void that enlivens the structure. Above, the pyramidal orange glass shade by Daum Nancy diffuses light with a soft, atmospheric glow.
A leading figure of the French Art Deco movement, Edgar Brandt gained international acclaim for his innovative metalwork, producing everything from architectural commissions to finely wrought decorative objects. Brandt established the Galeries Edgar Brandt in Paris, later expanding to London and New York, and at the height of his career, oversaw a large atelier producing works for embassies, ocean liners and major architectural commissions. Among his most enduring public works is the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc de Triomphe. His collaborations with leading glassmakers, including Daum Nancy and René Lalique, yielded some of the most sophisticated lighting designs of the period. Honored as a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur and recipient of the Médaille d’Honneur for Applied Art, Brandt is widely regarded as the preeminent Art Deco ironworker of the twentieth century.
