Playful Antique Jugendstil Table or Desk Lamp by A. de Ranieri. 1914 circa
Size 27x29x12.5 cm
Aristide De Ranieri was an Italian artist known for his bronze and ceramic sculptures. Born in 1865 in Viareggio of Tuscany, Italy into a family of Tuscan marble sculptors, his education in the art form was provided by his familial workshop in Pietrasanta. In 1893, De Ranieri opened a Parisian sector of the company in the 14th arrondissement, producing commercial pieces in tandem with his own artistic endeavors, which combined classic techniques with the popular Art Nouveau style. Throughout World War I, De Ranieri shifted his subject matter to support France, producing patriotic propaganda and halting his personal practice as a symbol of support. Sadly, Art Nouveau had lost its commercial appeal by the end of the war and the artist’s commercial production dwindled. Notably, details of De Ranieri's death are unknown, however the date of his last work of art, an aviation medallion, places his death after 1929.
