    DEGE MASK

    1.200,00 €

    Dege Mask.

    An African mask depicting the black monkey “Dege,” from the Dogon people. The Dogon are an ethnic group in Mali. Masks crafted by this African tribe come in various styles, employing different geometric shapes in their designs, depending on the animal the mask is meant to represent. Most masks feature large eyes and stylized features, often painted or colored with various substances. The Dogon have been using masks since ancient times, particularly during the Dama ceremony, a memorial ritual for the deceased, believed to guide them to the realm of ancestors and restore order in the universe. These ceremonies often require a large attendance, with several hundred accompanying the deceased. Masks also appear in “baga-bundo” rites, performed before the burial of a Dogon male, which typically involve fewer participants. Inspiration for the masks comes from the animals found in their region, with common depictions including antelopes, rabbits, lions, hyenas, cows, birds, and monkeys.

    The specific mask represents the black monkey Dege. The Dogon typically use three types of monkey masks, distinguished only by color rather than shape. The black monkey is known as Dege, the white monkey as Omono, and the red monkey as Ko.

    SPRING-LOADED CANDLE HOLDER DITMAR

    330,00 €

    Spring-loaded candle holder made by the Ditmar company, produced between 1895 and 1907.

    A rare example of a perfectly preserved spring-loaded candle holder. The candle holder, with its spring, allows you to adjust the height of the candle so that, regardless of the candle's length, it always stays at the same height. An interesting addition to a festive table or a shelf where you can always admire it. Karl Rudolf Ditmar, the founder of the Ditmar company, was born on May 3, 1818, in Prenzlau - Brandenburg. He came to Vienna in 1839. During a business trip to Paris, he is said to have encountered the still-controversial, heavy-working moderator lamp. Improving these lamps soon became his main concern. On August 5, 1840, Ditmar founded a trading company dealing with oil lamps, cups, and lacquered tin. The next step was establishing a workshop for lamp repairs, followed by an attempt at in-house production. Together with his brother Friedrich, whom he invited to Vienna, Rudolf led the company as "Gebrüder Ditmar" in 1841. For this purpose, a "state permit for the production of lacquered tin and zinc composite goods" was issued, creating a legal basis for the first lamp factory in Vienna and Austria. During this time, the brothers succeeded in developing the "Viennese moderator lamp," a spring-loaded lamp that was both inexpensive and reliable due to its adjustable oil supply. After the death of his brother Friedrich in 1858, "Gebrüder" was removed from the company's name, and it became Lampen Fabrik R. Ditmar. Even after his death in 1895, the company retained his name and tradition. Dimensions: 41 x 11.5 cm Weight: 510 g The spring-loaded candle holder is in excellent condition.

    CHANDELIER J. T. KALMAR “SONNE”

    950,00 €

    Chandelier flush mount, designed by the Austrian designer J.T. Kalmar.

    The "Sonne" chandelier, meaning "sun" in German, is an interesting modernist fixture whose design seamlessly integrates into any contemporary space. With its simple yet sophisticated lines, this light fixture is not just for illumination; it adds a touch of style to your space. The small glass flowers at the tips further emphasize the opulence of this chandelier, which can also be used as a wall light. Austrian designer and entrepreneur Julius Theodor Kalmar was born in 1884 in Vienna to Julius August Kalmar, the founder of the eponymous company specializing in chandeliers and other objects made of cast bronze. Growing up surrounded by design due to his father and their company, Julius Theodor gained rich design knowledge from an early age. His educational journey led him to the Birmingham School of Art and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he studied under the mentorship of the Secessionist architect Josef Hoffmann. After completing his studies, Julius Theodor joined his father's company in 1906 and took it over in 1913. Under his leadership, the company shifted away from the classical design of the time. Kalmar developed his distinctive design aesthetic, emphasizing the integration of form and function and combining classical traditions with innovative ideas. By the mid-1920s, his products were among the most sought after. In the 1930s, Kalmar began collaborating with the Austrian Werkbund, creating a series of glass lights with a purist aesthetic. Throughout his career, he collaborated with renowned architects such as Oskar Strnad, Josef Frank, and Oskar Wlach. In the last decade of his life, he designed numerous light collections, including the popular Atomic collection. Kalmar passed away in 1968, but the Kalmar company continues to create luxury lighting to this day. Kalmar lights can be found in prestigious locations like the Kremlin Presidential Palace and the Burj Tower in Dubai. Dimensions: 49 x 14 cm Weight: 1 kg The light fixture is in good condition, showing patina on the brass. Compatible with E14 bulbs.
