Bjerkås Armatur ceiling lamp
This rare ceiling lamp, crafted by an unknown designer and manufactured by Bjerkås Armatur in Sweden during the 1940s, showcases the understated elegance of Scandinavian design from the mid-century period. The lamp features a circular structure composed primarily of glass and fabric, creating a sophisticated yet subtle appearance that would complement a variety of interior styles.
The central shade is made from soft, ivory-toned pleated fabric, bordered delicately by ornamental trims at both the top and bottom. This fabric shade diffuses light gently, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The metal framework that supports the lamp is minimalistic and discreet, finished in a patinated bronze, which harmonizes beautifully with the glass and fabric elements, adding a touch of refined contrast to the overall design.
In terms of condition, the lamp retains its original vintage character, with only minor signs of age that are consistent with careful use and preservation over the years. These subtle signs of wear enhance the lamp’s authenticity and contribute to its charm.
The dimensions of the lamp are 70 cm in width (27.6 inches), 70 cm in depth (27.6 inches), and 45 cm in height (17.7 inches), making it an impressive yet elegant piece that would serve as a focal point in any room. This lamp is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of mid-century Scandinavian lighting design, blending simplicity with timeless sophistication.
