拍品描述 翻译
Pair of German 19th century Leuchterweibchen mermaid antler chandeliers. Pair of 19th century or earlier German sixteen light elk antler Black Forest chandeliers. An original image from volume 25 of the 1915 Yale Alumni Weekly show the chandeliers in situ inside the Grill Room at the Yale Club in New York City. The large wood figures of anthropomorphic half woman mermaids holding a crown, coat of arms and goblet, are hand carved. Acanthus detail with fully sculpted body extending into a serpentine scaled mermaid or dolphin tail. Chandeliers suspend from the original three chains. Retains one original brass ceiling cap. The arresting and unusual period lighting fixtures, also include old hard paper gaskets that have an impressed "C" within a diamond, which could possibly indicate J. E.Caldwell & Co. as the installers. Included with the chandeliers are photographs from Volume 25 of the October 1915 - Yale Alumni Weekly showing the Grill Room on the Mezzanine between the second and third floors with the Leuchterweibchen chandeliers suspended above Yale student and alumni diners. Additional Yale Club booklets, brochures, etc. are included with the chandeliers. In good condition with some wear as expected given the age. Each figural horned mermaid chandelier measures 78 inches high x 52 inches long. Lusterweibchen or Leuchterweibchen (German, loosely translated: "Little Chandelier Woman") is a chandelier consisting of antlers arranged horizontally with a female half-figure placed at one end. Antlers used were typically those of deer or elk. The meaning of the curious combination of a woman with a coat of arms and a suspended deer antler are not clear. Such objects were found in European town halls and thus must have had an official significance. They owe their German name Leuchterweibchen (chandelier woman) to the custom of sticking candles onto the antler points. Lusterweibchen or Leuchterweibchen lighting fixtures which incorporated the torso of a bare-breasted maiden, hunter or monk who appeared to hover above the room's occupants on antler wings. Early examples of these chandeliers were illustrated in a manuscript by Willem Vrelant in the university library at Erlanger and in engravings by Lucas Cranach, circa 1540.? Provenance: A Yale University alumnus purchased the pair of antique chandeliers at a private alumni only auction held in the 1980's or 90's at the Yale Club in New York prior to the Club undergoing extensive renovations. The Yale Club, across the street from Grand Central Station at 50 Vanderbilt Avenue in New york, was designed by James Gamble Rogers '89 and hailed for its dignified neoclassical design. Upon opening its doors in 1915, the building became the largest Clubhouse in the world and continues to be the largest college clubhouse in existence today. On page 180 - volume 25 of the 1915 Yale Alumni Weekly titled - The New Yale Club it states; The grill room decorations and furnishings are the gift of William P. Eno, (Yale class of 1882), whose generosity has made the grill room a great feature of the Club, perhaps the most unusual and unique feature. From Wikipedia: William Phelps Eno (June 3, 1858 - December 3, 1945) was an American businessman responsible for many of the earliest innovations in road safety and traffic control. He is sometimes known as the "Father of traffic safety", despite never having learned to drive a car himself. Among the innovations credited to Eno are traffic regulations, the stop sign, the pedestrian crosswalk, the traffic circle, the one-way street, the taxi stand, and pedestrian safety islands. His rotary traffic plan was put into effect at Columbus Circle, New York City, in 1905, at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, 1907, Piccadilly Circus in 1926, and Rond Ponte on the Champs-Eysees in 1927. In 1921 Eno founded the Eno Foundation for Highway Traffic Control in Westport, Connecticut, today known as the Eno Center for Transportation. The Foundation is a non-profit organization with the mission of improving transportation policy and leadership. His Westport office has been recreated as the William Phelps Eno Memorial Center in the Simsbury Free Library in Simsbury, Connecticut. Eno was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honour by the French government, and was one of the first honorary members of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. He was a member of the New York Yacht Club and the first owner of the steam yacht Aquilo, built in Boston in 1901. The website www.larsdatter.com/leuchterweibchen.htm has in depth information and several examples of Leuchterweibchen dating from the 15th to 17th century.
