Arts and Crafts Hammered Copper Table Lamp 22 × 16 in. Early 20th century
This lamp embodies the design principles of the Arts & Crafts movement, which emphasized hand-craftsmanship and honest materials over industrial mass production. Its domed shade of hammered copper is accented with slag glass windows, creating a warm, diffused glow when lit. Bold lion mask mounts with ring handles and a flaring pedestal base highlight both strength and decorative refinement. Such lamps were prized not only as functional lighting but as works of art that reflected a return to traditional craftsmanship in the face of industrialization.
