Hand Hammered Copper & Mica Boudoir Lamp [SOLD]

Michael Adams of Aurora Studios is considered the master artisan today in the fabrication of Dirk Van Erp-style hammered copper lamps with mica shades. The copper bases and the copper trim of the shades are intricately hand hammered, as was the custom in the early-1900s when Van Erp was making similar lamps. The arms supporting the shade are attached to the base with copper rivets. The support brackets on the shade are also riveted to the shade framing pieces with copper rivets.

This lamp features a globular base, constructed in two sections, and riveted with copper rivets. There is a slight pedestal on the underside. The base is beautifully hand hammered and patinated. It was made in 2002 and is in original condition. It is signed and dated on the underside Aurora Studios, Number 137, August 2002.
