European Brass and Glass Pendant Ceiling Lamp, Europe 1940s

About the Item

From beautiful Danish designs to iconic Swedish models, European lighting has made a name for itself in the world of interior design. With silhouettes as varied as they come, the mid-century modern movement of the 20th century perfected and popularised lighting shapes and types such as the pendant lamp - sometimes called a drop or suspender - a functional and aesthetic option for brightening a space. This 1940s pendant lamp brings together brass and glass to achieve a timeless look, associated with the heyday of modern design. The open brass body is composed of a canopy, anchoring the piece to the ceiling and a straight cylindrical stem, which leads to the structure of the frame supporting the shade. The central visual element, the spherical shade, is made out of a milky white coloured glass, which allows light to envelop its surroundings without creating harsh shadows. The airy, open outline created by the frame captivates the eye, reminiscent of a dangling piece of jewellery, such as a pendant hanging from a necklace, thus staying true to its name. The bulb's warm glow complements the metallic sheen of the frame, enhancing the overall golden shine. The versatility of the pendant lamp rests in the genius of its design; the lamp's elongated rod and the minimalist frame offer a sense of height and increased space, making it an ideal choice for rooms with high ceilings, while at the same time creating a focal point in more compact interior areas. This pendant ceiling lamp, with its minimalist and curved structure, represents a perfect way to elevate a space with traditional elegance, while offering a modern touch. It reflects the effortless sophistication needed in various decors, from contemporary to classic. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.

Mid-Century Modern Brass and Glass Ceiling Lamp, Europe ca 1950s

Located in Utrecht, NL

The best thing about hanging ceiling lights - besides their stylish look - is that they are the best option to make interiors appear more spacious. They can be used them to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room. This lamp’s design revolves around the clear glass sphere. Glass is the perfect material for light shades as it allows light to pass through it. This means that glass light shades offer almost as much illumination as a bare light bulb. The result is bright and vibrant light, and this is exactly what this model offers. The design’s main point is its effective simpleness, free of any unnecessary detail. The uncluttered look leaves the attention on the materials and on functionality that the form is also in service of. As such, the canopy, the rod, and the shade holder are all quite understated, accentuating the glass shade instead. The pairing of glass and brass is perhaps the most iconic material duo in mid-century modern European lighting...
