Brass Pendant Light with Patterned Amber Glass, Europe, circa 1960s

About the Item

This unique ceiling lamp is the result of an era when old and new influences interacted actively, combining traditional methods and looks with the 20th century’s design movements’ peculiar aesthetic. As this lamp shows, the one-of-a-kind, often one-off pieces had a strong character executed with high level craftsmanship. The design of this model is defined by the pairing and interaction of its materials: brass and amber glass. It has the functional and stylish characteristic of mid-century modern models, employing the blown, patterned amber glass to distinguish it from its contemporaries. Many modern lamps, especially from the 1960s, were created in response to the constant changes made to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs by manufacturers. Thus, larger shades accommodating various types and sizes of bulbs became popular as seen here. This pendant features a sculptural, multi-layered body made from glass and brass with a beautiful yellow hue on the outside. While the brass shade, rod, and canopy are very attractive, the glass dictates the overall look. Framed by the brass, the distinctive shape and pattern of the glass creates an almost futuristic look that is even more pronounced when the light is lit. When turned on, the warm hue of the amber glass and brass is accentuated, making the whole lamp glow. The brass shade is matte on the inside, while the rod has a straight, smooth look, details that cleverly balance and also accentuate the eccentric body by creating contrast. Another advantage of the solid brass material is its high quality, which makes this lamp timeless both in terms of quality and design. The modern design is timeless, taking advantage of the manufacturer’s skills. The unique look of the amber glass paired with the polished brass is sure to elevate any interior. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some small marks on the brass.
