"San Gabriel" Folk Art Desk Lamp

$369.00

In 1930, Michael Chaikin began making and selling table lamps at a shop on Manhattan's 25th Street. He called the company Quoizel (pronounced Kwoy-zell ), a name suggested by a friend interested in astrology for the conjunction of several planets at the time. Quoizel remains a privately held, family-owned and operated business, focused on creating timeless designs, including a splendid desk lamp inspired by New Mexico's San Gabriel Ranch.

In 1920, Museum of International Folk Art founder, Chicago heiress Florence Dibell Bartlett first visited New Mexico and stayed at the well-known San Gabriel Ranch. In the 1930s she bought and lovingly restored the 70-acre ranch renaming it "El Mirador." Ms. Bartlett loved bright colors and light-filled rooms so she added a number of stained glass windows. The glass maker adapted her favorite Native American beadwork patterns into the designs. The window over the front door provided the inspiration for this remarkable "Arts and Crafts" piece. (Dimensions: 23 1/2" H, 14 1/2" W)
