About the Item

A fantastic wall light made of brass with a cream colored pleated fabric shade attributed to J.T. Kalmar manufactured in Austria in 1950s. The position of the shade is ajdustbale in height with a counter weight and the wall arm can be rotated. The brass parts are in very good original condition with patina and have a warm aged hue. The lamp shade is renewed. The light is ready for use, it has been completely restored. The entire wiring, the cord and bulb socket have been renewed. The diameter of the shade is ca. 20 inch (50 cm). The distance from the shade to the wall is 47 inch (120 cm) and can be extended by ca. 20 inch (50 cm). The fixture has one socket for a medium or standard Edison screw base bulb type E26 or E27. 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. In the mid-1920s, Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach founded the furnishing company "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. Stilnovo, Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern
