Pair of Danish Modern "Snowball" Glass Pendants by Bent Karlby for LYFA, 1940s

About the Item

This wonderful and rare set of pendants was made in the late 1940s. The Opaline glass was hand blown at Holmegaard Glassworks, Copenhagen and the lamp was manufactured by Lyfa. The design is typical for Karlbys style and the pendant was nicknamed "snowball" due to its beautiful organic shape. The lamp features beautifully patinated brass parts and both lamps still have the original diffuser at the bottom.
