Regency Style Hanging Lamp Made of Murano Glass by Kalmar, 1960 Austria
By J.T. Kalmar
Located in Oostrum-Venray, NL
Regency style hanging lamp made of Murano glass by Kalmar, 1960 Austria
A beautiful hanging lamp from Kalmar by Franken KG.
This is a beautiful model hanging lamp. The special shapes in the design give these lamps a completely individual and unique look.
This lamp was made in the 1960s from thick Murano glass in a beautiful golden brass frame. This gives the light of the lamp a nice warm glow.
The lamp is still in good vintage condition. The Austrian designer-entrepreneur Julius Theodor (J.T.) Kalmar was born in Vienna in 1884. Kalmar gained a wealth of design expertise in his formative years. Kalmar attended the Birmingham School of Art as well as the University of Applied Arts in Vienna under the direction of Viennese Secession architect Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956). Kalmar joined his father's company in 1906 and eventually took over in 1913. A strong supporter of the Arts & Crafts movement, Kalmar led the company away from the eclecticism of the late 19th century. Kalmar's design aesthetic was characterized by an integration of form and function and a blend of classic tradition with forward-thinking innovation. In the mid-1920s, his designs dominated the influential, avant-garde home furnishing store Haus & Garten, founded by leading architects Josef Frank (1885-1967) and Oskar Wlach (1881-1963). In the 1930s, Kalmar began collaborating with the Austrian Werkbund, an association founded by architects, artists, craftsmen and manufacturers committed to modernist design principles. Kalmar created a series of glass chandeliers and fixtures for the Werkbund, which exuded meticulous construction and craftsmanship. Using traditional materials such as glass, bronze and brass, these designs eschewed ornaments, favoring a purist aesthetic instead. Throughout his career, Kalmar designed lighting fixtures for many renowned architects, including Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach, Oskar Strnad, Clemens Holzmeister, Oswald Haerdtl, Carl Appel, Erich Boltenstern and Ernst Plischke, as well as important institutions, such as the Vienna Opera...

Antique, Vintage and Contemporary Chandeliers and Pendant Lights
Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches. For those wealthy enough to afford them for their homes in the medieval period, a chandelier's suspended lights likely exuded imminent danger, as lit candles served as the light source for fixtures of the era. Things have thankfully changed since then, and antique and vintage chandeliers and pendant lights are popular in many interiors today.
While gas lighting during the late 18th century represented an upgrade for chandeliers — and gas lamps would long inspire Danish architect and pioneering modernist lighting designer Poul Henningsen — it would eventually be replaced with the familiar electric lighting of today.
The key difference between a pendant light and a chandelier is that a pendant incorporates only a single bulb into its design. Don’t mistake this for simplicity, however. An Art Deco–styled homage to Sputnik from Murano glass artisans Giovanni Dalla Fina (note: there is more than one lighting fixture that shares its name with the iconic mid-century-era satellite — see Gino Sarfatti’s design too), with handcrafted decorative elements supported by a chrome frame, is just one stunning example of the elaborate engineering that can be incorporated into every component of a chandelier.
Chandeliers have evolved over time, but their classic elegance has remained unchanged. Not only will the right chandelier prove impressive in a given room, but it can also offer a certain sense of practicality. These fixtures can easily illuminate an entire space, while their elevated position prevents them from creating glare or straining one’s eyes. Certain materials, like glass, can complement naturally lit settings without stealing the show. Brass, on the other hand, can introduce an alluring, warm glow. While LEDs have earned a bad reputation for their perceived harsh bluish lights and a loss of brightness over their life span, the right design choices can help harness their lighting potential and create the perfect mood. A careful approach to lighting can transform your room into a peaceful and cozy nook, ideal for napping, reading or working.
For midsize spaces, a wall light or sconce can pull the room together and get the lighting job done. Perforated steel rings underneath five bands of handspun aluminum support a rich diffusion of light within Alvar Aalto's Beehive pendant light, but if you’re looking to brighten a more modest room, perhaps a minimalist solution is what you’re after. The mid-century modern furniture designer Charlotte Perriand devised her CP-1 wall lamps in the 1960s, in which a repositioning of sheet-metal plates can redirect light as needed.
The versatility and variability of these lighting staples mean that, when it comes to finding something like the perfect chandelier, you’ll never be left hanging. From the whimsical — like the work of Beau & Bien’s Sylvie Maréchal, frequently inspired by her dreams — to the classic beauty of Paul Ferrante's fixtures, there is a style for every room. With designs for pendant lights and chandeliers across eras, colors and materials, you’ll never run out of options to explore on 1stDibs.
