This delightful German figural pendant lamp from the 1950s features a meticulously hand-carved mountaineer, crafted from linden wood and full of whimsical character.
The smiling figure, clad in traditional Alpine attire, is shown mid-climb, grasping a rope with one hand while holding an ornate lantern in the other.
The lantern itself is made of metal with warm yellow glass panels that create a cozy, inviting glow when lit.
The figure is finished in natural, earthy tones—soft brown hues of the jacket and boots, a dusty rose for the shorts, and subtle flesh tones for the face and limbs.
These hand-applied finishes enhance the texture and lifelike quality of the carving.
An additional charming detail: the figure carries a small wooden ice axe that doubles as a pen, adding a playful touch.
The ceiling canopy is carved in the shape of an Alpine Edelweiss flower, enhancing the mountain-themed aesthetic and lending the piece a unique sculptural quality.
