Table lamp
This rare Swedish table lamp from the 1950s combines mid-century modern functionalism with handcrafted artistic detail. Crafted entirely in brass, it features a cylindrical stem rising from a flat circular base with a soft satin finish, showing natural age-related patina and subtle oxidation. The standout decorative element is the spiraling botanical motif adorning the stem—hand-formed floral and heart-shaped leaf reliefs that add an organic, artisanal touch to the otherwise sleek form.
Topping the lamp is a drum-shaped, pleated textile shade in a natural beige tone, likely original or period-appropriate, which gently diffuses light to create warm ambient illumination. The lamp operates with dual bulb holders beneath a crossbar and includes a switch integrated into the base.
The condition is good, with wear typical of age, including patina on the brass and minor darkening, while all decorative features remain intact. This lamp exemplifies the post-war Swedish design ethos where functional objects often incorporated delicate, handcrafted flourishes.
Dimensions: 32 cm diameter, 57 cm height (approximately 12.6 x 22.4 inches).
