Swedish Grace Table Lamp attr Anna Petrus, C. G Hallberg, Ebony & Pewter 1920s

About the Item

A striking Swedish Grace table lamp produced by C. G. Hallberg during the 1920s-30s, embodying the refined balance between classical inspiration and the emerging modernism that characterized Scandinavian design of the period. The lamp combines rich ebony-stained wood with pewter, creating a restrained yet luxurious contrast that remains remarkably contemporary nearly a century later. The design is distinguished by its architectural silhouette and sculptural base, which rests upon four stylized lion feet. This decorative motif is closely associated with the work of Anna Petrus, one of Sweden's most celebrated designers of the Swedish Grace era, and appears on several documented objects attributed to her. While the lamp is not currently documented as an Anna Petrus design, the similarities in form and detailing strongly suggest her influence and possibly her authorship. The pewter dome base is enriched with delicate beaded ornamentation, while the faceted ebony column rises elegantly toward the shade, creating a composition that feels both monumental and refined. The combination of noble materials and carefully controlled proportions reflects the sophisticated craftsmanship for which C. G. Hallberg was renowned. The lamp remains in original condition with a beautiful age-related patina throughout. It retains its stamped C. G. Hallberg mark and presents exceptionally well. The pleated shade has been professionally remade on the original frame, preserving the lamp's authentic character while providing a fresh and elegant appearance. A rare and highly decorative example of Swedish Grace lighting that works equally well in classical, Art Deco, Scandinavian, and contemporary interiors. Whether placed on a side table, console, desk, or bedside cabinet, it serves as both a functional light source and a sculptural object of enduring elegance.
