Circular Glass Ceiling Light with Chromed Metal and Ebonised Wood, Europe 1930s

About the Item

The 1930s was the height of the Art Deco movement, a period that was characterised by the fusion of luxury and modernity. Art Deco was a celebration of geometric forms, bold lines, and the use of high-quality materials, such as glass, metal, and wood. Lighting fixtures, in particular, became an essential element in creating atmospheric, elegant spaces, offering both beauty and utility. This unique European ceiling light exemplifies the characteristics of the Art Deco style. The standout feature is the circular glass shade which creates a soft, diffused light, allowing the model to serve as both a practical source of illumination and as a sculptural decor piece. The frosted glass provides a smooth surface with a graceful curvature, contributing to a refined look. The chromed metal elements, such as the ceiling fixture and the finial, add an industrial chic touch, reflecting the modern sensibility of the era and ensuring a unique charm to the piece. These metal elements contrast elegantly with the ebonised wood of the stem, offering a visual balance between the sleek, metallic accents and the organic warmth of the wood. The overall design is uncluttered yet impactful, focusing on clean lines and symmetry, with a harmonious interplay of materials that reflect the luxurious aesthetic of the time. This light is a perfect representation of its era’s sophisticated style. Its combination of materials makes it a striking addition to any space, whether in a vintage or contemporary interior. It remains timeless, evoking the glamour of the Art Deco period while providing a practical lighting solution. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
