Large Art Deco Chandelier Pendant Light, Wood Brass Cream Fabric Shades, 1930s

About the Item

A fantastic eight-arm pendant chandelier made of stained wood and brass with organically curved arms and cream colored pleated fabric shades, manufactured in Austria in 1930s. The brass parts have lovely patina and a warm aged hue. The lamp shades are renewed on base of the original ones. The light has the original ceramic sockets, cords are renewed and it is ready to use. It has eight 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. The height of the body without chain is 16.5 inch (42 cm). The current overall drop is 31.5 inch (90 cm) and can be customized to any length for free of charge. The light fixture was probably manufactured by the Austrian furnishing and lighting company "Haus & Garten" in the 1930s. In the mid-1920s, Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach founded "Haus & Garten" which was sold to Julius Theodor Kalmar after Josef Frank emigrated to Sweden before the second world war. 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. Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco
