Czech Art Deco Brass and Glass Beaded Fruit Basket Illuminant Lamp

A radiant celebration of early 20th-century design, this Czech Art Deco illuminant lamp captures the elegance and imagination of its era. The lamp features a hand-wrought brass basket with an ornate handle, brimming with luminous glass beaded fruits that glow warmly when lit. Each bead was hand-strung by skilled Czech artisans—masters of glass craft admired worldwide for their precision and artistry. Beaded fruit basket lamps became icons of decorative lighting during the Art Deco movement, blending whimsy with sophistication. Their jewel-like illuminants filled parlors and salons with a soft, colorful glow that reflected the optimism of the 1920s and 1930s. This piece embodies that spirit, uniting fine materials, playful artistry, and enduring craftsmanship into a single enchanting design. Condition Very good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear. The brass retains a rich, mellow patina, and the glass fruits remain vivid and intact. Wiring appears sound and operational. The lamp displays beautifully, offering both function and charm.
