This lamp, and other Egyptian-themed items, began the early 20th century Egyptian revival in decorative wares following the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922. The Louis V. Aronson Company, also known as The Art Metal Works, began in 1897 and was incorporated on July 20, 1898, by Max Hecht, Louis Vincent Aronson and Leopold Herzig, in Newark, New Jersey. Louis V. Aronson was a huge creative driving force for the company; and, with a few business adjustments, including the addition of Alexander Harris (1910-11) as Business Manager, the company soon became world famous. The L.V. Aronson Company (The Art Metal Works) produced a variety of high-quality lamps, book ends, art statues and other decorative items which are today prized by collectors for their detail.
