About the Item

A rare Swedish pendant fixture, model 54449, produced by the renowned lighting manufacturer Malmö Metallvarufabrik in the 1950s. It features a gray upper shade supporting a cylinder crafted from perforated brass. The fixture is suspended from a brass rod with a cone-shaped canopy at the ceiling. It bears the Malmö Metallvarufabrik hallmark and the model number 54449 stamped in the metal. Malmö Metallvarufabrik was founded in the Swedish town of Malmö in 1916 and initially specialized in nautical fixtures. By the 1930s, the company had become known for its artistic and sculptural pieces, often featuring a distinctive Art Deco aesthetic. Later, in the mid-20th century, Malmö Metallvarufabrik gained recognition for its modernistic and sometimes avant-garde fixtures.
