Information

This table lamp, likely produced in Sweden during the 1950s, combines glass, brass, and fabric to create a distinctive piece reflective of mid-century Scandinavian design. The base is crafted from blue glass, shaped as a rectangular form with softly rounded edges. Its smooth, glossy surface interacts with light, adding subtle reflections and a cool tonal contrast to the warmer elements of the lamp. The brass hardware, including the lamp holder and central column, features a warm patina that complements the blue glass while providing structural support.

The lampshade is made from pleated fabric, showcasing a mustard-yellow background decorated with an intricate pattern of stylized flora and fauna in hues of purple, blue, and orange. The pleated construction diffuses light gently, casting a warm and textured glow when illuminated. The shade’s conical shape, wider at the base and tapering toward the top, enhances the lamp’s balanced silhouette.

This lamp exemplifies Scandinavian mid-century principles, emphasizing a harmonious blend of high-quality materials, functional form, and decorative detailing that adds character without overwhelming simplicity. The use of glass, brass, and patterned fabric suggests a commitment to craftsmanship and durability typical of the era.

The lamp remains in good vintage condition, showing age-appropriate wear consistent with its period. It measures 36 cm in diameter and 45 cm in height (14.2 x 17.7 inches), making it a well-proportioned and elegant lighting solution.
