European Mid-Century Modern Brass Ceiling Lamp with Leaf Motif, Europe Ca 1950s
About the Item
Mid-Century Modern pieces function very well because of their simplicity and fine craftsmanship. What unites the European lighting models of the era can be observed in this ceiling lamp: a clear design that can be enjoyed without being distracted by too many details.
With its nature inspired organic look, this ceiling lamp is reminiscent of European icons’, such as Paavo Tynell’s design language. Crafted from brass, this chandelier features a delicate structure that is designed to showcase the five spherical glass shades and the black painted metal leaves arranged between them. This beautiful motif can be found on the cluster as well, divided by a brass ring from which the arms and leaves appear to flow out of. The five downward facing glass shades are placed at the end of the arms with polished brass cup holders. Their spherical shape and opaline surface stand out beautifully against the black painted leaves and the brass. The sphere shape was often chosen for lighting models as it diffuses and shows off the warm light emitted on a large surface, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The leaf motif’s delicate look is counterbalanced by the black colour, preventing the design from looking gaudy. European designers were especially skilled when it came to subtle decorative elements, with a keen eye for balance. They managed to achieve a level of expressiveness - that frequently drew inspiration from previous design movements - without excess elements.
The cleanliness and minimalism of mid-century designs is a timeless look that blends so well with other types of home decor. This ceiling lamp is perfect to add a touch of elegance to any space without being overwhelming. Its expert craftsmanship and unique character make it a timeless evidence of the golden age of mid-century European lighting design.

- 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
