Metal and Brass Mid-Century Ceiling Lamp, Scandinavia ca 1950s

About the Item

At its most basic level, Mid-Century Modern designs are known for juxtaposing sleek lines with comfortable, inviting shapes, using new materials and methods to re-imagine traditional pieces. This ceiling lamp is a perfect example of this, with a futuristic look that isn’t a complete departure from the past. In general, Mid-Century Modern lamps are geometric, with globes, hourglasses, and rings being the dominant shapes. This model showcases an hourglass-like shape, or even a shape more comparable to a diabolo. The materials used give this lamp a sense of sophistication, the pairing of black lacquered metal and brass allows this model to seamlessly elevate any interior. Unlike other aesthetic movements, Mid-Century Modern design is streamlined, while highlighting the materials used. The impression of this ceiling lamp is fresh, retro-tinged, and completely alluring with its dedication to quality and practicality wrapped up in beautiful design that never goes out of style. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition.

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...

Copper and Brass Ceiling Lamp, Scandinavia, 1930's
By Hans-Agne Jakobsson
Located in Uithoorn, NL
Beautifully patinated ceiling lamp with lots of resemblance with the work of Hans Agne Jacobsson but then more beautiful. Great shadowplay and warm vibrant light. Both the copper and the brass are very nicely patinated creating an organge / red light. Interesting geometrical figures and cleverly built: the source of light (the bulb) is hidden inside the lamp so don't expect a sea of light coming out of this one. For cosy corners...
