Art Deco wall lamp

This wall lamp is a rare Art Deco piece from the 1930s, characterized by its refined composition of brass and glass. The lamp features a semi-circular brass frame with a warm, aged patina that adds depth and authenticity to its appearance. From the frame hangs a curtain of clear glass rods, creating a cascading fringe that forms a gentle curve, softening the lamp’s overall silhouette. When illuminated, the rods refract the light and cast elongated shadows on the wall, creating a dramatic yet elegant interplay of light and texture.

The combination of brass and glass is typical of Art Deco design, which emphasized geometric harmony, quality craftsmanship, and luxurious materials. The construction is delicate yet solid, with the rods suspended individually from the frame, reflecting the artisanal approach to lighting design of the early 20th century. The surface of the brass exhibits minor signs of use and patina consistent with age, which contribute to its character and historical value. Some of the original glass rods are missing, which does not detract from the overall visual impact but should be noted for completeness.

Produced during the 1930s, this piece exemplifies Scandinavian interpretations of the Art Deco style, which often favored a more restrained, functional aesthetic compared to its continental European counterparts. It would have been designed to provide both illumination and an atmospheric decorative effect, suitable for entryways, staircases, or intimate interiors.

The lamp measures 21 cm in width, 26.5 cm in depth, and 38 cm in height (approximately 8.3 x 10.4 x 15 inches). Its size makes it suitable as a statement wall piece while remaining versatile enough for a variety of interior contexts.
