HANGING OIL LAMP DESIGNED BY SERGEI VASHKOV. P.I. OLOVYANISHNIKOV

An exquisite hanging oil lamp executed after an original design by Sergei Ivanovich Vashkov, one of the leading masters of Moscow Art Nouveau and a key reformer of ecclesiastical artistic language in the early 20th century. The composition is distinguished by its refined architectonics and a carefully balanced interplay between structural clarity and decorative expressiveness. A domed finial surmounted by a cross crowns a system of chains supporting a circular mount with a central deep-blue glass vessel. The lower section is adorned with suspended chains bearing green glass beads and a Chi-Rho cross, referencing early Christian symbolism. The lamp exemplifies Vashkov’s characteristic synthesis of Byzantine tradition, Old Russian heritage, and Art Nouveau aesthetics. Materials: Brass, blue glass, green glass beads.
