patinated gilt bronze, with Daum mottled glass shade, stamped E. BRANDT, engraved DAUM NANCY FRANCE with Cross of Lorraine160cm highFootnote: Literature: Kahr J. Edgar Brandt: Master of Art Deco Ironwork, New York, 1999, pp. 156-7, pl. 166.Kahr J. Edgar Brandt: Art Deco Ironwork, New York, 2010, p. 133, pl. 184 et p. 134 for a view of the design in the Brandt showrooms at 101 boulevard Murat, Paris in about 1923.Note: Edgar Brandt was a celebrated Art Deco designer working in metal producing both private and public works. He celebrated the past but was also thoroughly modern. He understood traditional materials and chose to explore their potential, besides using hand-tools, he also relied on machines. Brandt set up a workshop in 1901 and by 1925 was exhibiting on the world stage at the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Decorative Arts and Modern Industries). A design he showed on this occasion was La Tentation, a lamp featuring a serpent. A subject of antiquity that appeared in ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian culture as a creature to both be feared and revered. It was an exotic motif also employed by other leading Art Deco designers including René Lalique, Jean Dunand, Albert Chereut and Paul Jouve. The serpent was a recurrent motif in Brandt’s work appearing on andirons, vases, cachepots, paperweights and incense burners, but is perhaps best remembered in his two lamps designs both of which were produced in bronze between 1920-26. This present example La Tentation being the larger of the two, the smaller being referred to as the Cobra. Both lamps were made to order and available in two sizes and this present lot is the larger version. They were of high quality, not only in terms of the sophistication of the design, but also in their execution and the attention paid to their finishing. Brandt employed specialists to patinate the pieces. La Tentation was a great commercial success and remain highly sought after still today by collectors.La Simplicitée lamp by contrast illustrates Brandt’s passion for iron. The textured circular base supports soaring vertical elements conjoined by scrolling and foliate forms. Brandt’s lamp offered his customers move versatile lighting options than traditional fixed chandeliers provided.IMPORTANT INFO FOR ‡ LOTSLots affixed with ‡ or [Ω] symbols may be subject to further regulations upon export /import, please see Conditions of Sale for Buyers Section D.2.Collection of Purchased ‡ Lots:For items marked with the ‡ (denoting additional VAT payable at a reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price) additional time should be allowed for Customs clearance by HMRC if the item is to remain in the UK.
