Aage Rafn Art Deco Bronze Ceiling Lamp, Denmark, 1920s.

About the Item

This rare Art Deco bronze ceiling lamp was designed by prominent Danish architect Aage Rafn in the 1920s. Originally crafted for the main Danish police station, a building co-designed by Rafn and the esteemed Hack Kampmann, this piece embodies the streamlined elegance of early 20th-century design. The lamp, cast by the renowned Danish foundry L. Rasmussen, showcases exceptional craftsmanship and a striking Art Deco aesthetic, with clean geometric lines and bold details that reflect the architectural trends of the era. Its solid bronze construction boasts a beautifully aged patina, a testament to both its quality and history. Designed in conjunction with the Greek-inspired architecture of the police station, this lamp merges classical influences with the emerging modernist style, resulting in a truly unique piece. A rare and significant find, this ceiling lamp not only serves as a functional lighting element but also stands as a piece of Danish design heritage, ideal for collectors or enthusiasts of Art Deco lighting.
