Brass Ceiling Lamp with Decorative Cylindrical Glass Shades, Europe Ca 1950s
About the Item
Mid-Century Modern lamps are still coveted pieces thanks to their atmospheric light and disciplined, functionalist design that is not short of unique decorative elements. Not only does this one-of-a-kind model possess most of the best characteristics and Material combinations of the era, its decorative elements are also more distinctive compared to other models.
This uniquely decorated ceiling lamp was designed in an era in which Europe saw the birth of many of its most iconic lighting models. It was a period of consistency, excellence, and sophistication design wise. Despite its age, this ceiling light has a hint of Art Deco in its design, with sinuous lines and pronounced decorative elements. The brass frame features two arms with defined curves that hold two glass shades. Each one has a tall cylindrical shape framed by brass rings on both ends. The opal glass with its milky texture is the perfect backdrop for the decorative crosses forming diamond shapes on the shades. The eye-catching brass stem and the opal glass catch the light beautifully, which is one of the best qualities of European Mid-Century Modern light fixtures. The elongated lines are further enhanced by the canopy’s third arm that has a purely decorative role and showcases the brass’s beautiful patina. The design is especially outstanding when the light is lit, brightening up the brass structure and the shades.
The composition of the shapes and clever decorative elements give this ceiling lamp a stylish look that is guaranteed to set the tone of its interior. The modern, sleek design’s organic lines create a perfect balance between the ornamented features of the early 20th century and the later phase of mid-century modernism with its more minimal, simplified lines.

- Mid-Century Modern Brass and Glass Ceiling Lamp, Europe ca 1950sLocated in Utrecht, NLThe best thing about hanging ceiling lights - besides their stylish look - is that they are the best option to make interiors appear more spacious. They can be used them to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room. This lamp’s design revolves around the clear glass sphere. Glass is the perfect material for light shades as it allows light to pass through it. This means that glass light shades offer almost as much illumination as a bare light bulb. The result is bright and vibrant light, and this is exactly what this model offers. The design’s main point is its effective simpleness, free of any unnecessary detail. The uncluttered look leaves the attention on the materials and on functionality that the form is also in service of. As such, the canopy, the rod, and the shade holder are all quite understated, accentuating the glass shade instead. The pairing of glass and brass is perhaps the most iconic material duo in mid-century modern European lighting...Category
