The Art Deco Lamp Blog http://www.artdecolamps.com Following the world of Art Deco period lamps Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:56:03 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7 Fortune Teller Art Deco Lamp http://www.artdecolamps.com/2010/11/fortune-teller-art-deco-lamp.html http://www.artdecolamps.com/2010/11/fortune-teller-art-deco-lamp.html#respond Sun, 21 Nov 2010 15:47:52 +0000 http://www.artdecolamps.com/?p=118 When I saw this rare lamp, I had to nab it. By rare, I don’t necessarily mean extremely valuable – just a rare find. I have not seen any other instances of this lamp anywhere.

The architectural elements in the lamp seems to be a nod to Mughal architecture of which the Taj Mahal is the most famous example.  Apparently, there was an Orientalism craze in the early 20th century and thus it is not hard to find lamps which incorporate Middle Eastern themes such as this one.

The female figure seems to represent a fortune teller with her crystal ball.

It is made of bronze with a marble base.  The best feature of this particular bronze is the original patination that remains intact.  It has a yellowish tinge with rust accents.

This item is for sale and may be sent to auction in the near future.

Itzamatul is an area of ruins in Izamal, Mexico, which was an important Pre-Columbian Mayan civilization. There is a depiction of a king or some sort of leadership figure in a seated, cross-legged position. The base below him reads, “Itzamatul”. The lamp is 15″ high. The shade has clear and pink/red striations. The alabaster-style base is an artificial bakelite-like material. The shade is suspended by an arm that has a ball/socket that can be moved in any direction. I am currently selling this lamp on Ebay, or if you happen upon this lamp some time later, you can inquire if it is still available.
