Ketting van een koperen hanglamp c. 1916

"Ketting van een koperen hanglamp" (Chain of a copper hanging lamp) is a c. 1916 work by Dutch designer Theo Nieuwenhuis, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The lamp's design combines Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences with a delicate, intricate pattern and geometric forms, typical of Nieuwenhuis's style. The ornate chain, the pierced metalwork, and the decorative crystal fringe contribute to the lamp's striking elegance and sophistication. The hanging lamp is a fine example of the decorative arts in the early 20th century, reflecting the Dutch designer's keen eye for detail and mastery of metalwork.
