About the Item

A fantastic five arm pendant lamp made of stained wood and brass with cream colored pleated fabric shades attributed to J.T. Kalmar and Josef Frank, manufactured in Austria in 1930s. In the mid-1920s, Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach founded the furnishing company "Haus & Garten" which was sold to Julius Theodor Kalmar after Josef Frank emigrated to Sweden before the second world war. The brass parts are in very good original condition with patina and have a warm aged hue. The light is ready for use, it has been completely restored. The entire wiring, all cables and bulb sockets have been renewed. The lamp shades are renewed. The height of the body incl. shades is 18,9 inch (48 cm). The current overall drop is ca. 51 inch (130 cm) but it can be shortened for free of charge. The light has five sockets for medium or standard Edison screw base bulbs. It is possible to install this fixture in all countries (US, UK, Europe, Asia, Canada,) although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs (e.g. LED or filament) suitable to local electricity. About Kalmar: Founded in Vienna by Julius August Kalmar in 1881, Kalmar first specialized in the production of handcrafted objects of cast bronze. After the turn of the century, Julius Theodor Kalmar, son of the original founder, studied under the renowned Austrian architect and designer Josef Hoffmann. In the following years the company realized modern lighting concepts and designs. Kalmar worked together with the Austrian Werkbund and the most important Austrian architects like Josef Frank, Oskar Wlach, Oswald Haerdtl, Clemens Holzmeister, Ernst Plischke, and Oskar Strnad. Kalmar used traditional materials like glass, bronze, brass, and wood. His designs, including this chandelier, lacked ornament but favoured instead a purist aesthetics. Kalmar produced lightings of great craftsmanship, high quality workmanship, and timeliess design.
