Harald Notini ceiling lamp

The lamp features a large, shallow circular glass shade in a warm peach-toned Havana color, with a gently flared rim and a softly rounded profile. Delicate cut decorations follow the circumference of the glass, forming a rhythmic pattern of elongated oval and tapered motifs. The translucent glass diffuses the light into a warm, atmospheric glow, emphasizing its subtle coloration and decorative detailing.

The brass suspension is particularly elaborate, featuring a slender central stem surrounded by gracefully curved metal rods that extend outward into small scroll-shaped terminals. These ornamental elements rise from a series of stylized, layered floral forms, creating a composition reminiscent of a fountain or flowering plant. The brass has developed a warm, aged patina that enhances the sculptural quality of the metalwork.

Beneath the glass shade, three curved brass arms extend from a central, scalloped fitting. Their upward-sweeping ends echo the botanical character of the suspension above, giving the lamp a balanced decorative expression when viewed from below. The combination of delicate metalwork, floral motifs, and geometric glass decoration illustrates the interplay between classical influences and modern design that defined the Swedish Grace movement.

Harald Notini was a Swedish designer closely associated with Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik, one of Sweden’s important manufacturers of decorative lighting during the early 20th century. His work frequently explored the relationship between traditional ornament, refined proportions, and the possibilities of metal and glass. Designs from this period reflect the transition from the classical elegance of the 1920s toward the more streamlined forms of the following decade.

The lamp is a distinctive example of Swedish decorative lighting from the 1930s, combining an expressive brass structure with a softly illuminated glass shade. Its generous diameter and relatively compact height give it a strong architectural presence while maintaining a sense of lightness through the open, ornamental suspension.

The lamp is in good vintage condition, with signs of age and use consistent with its period. The brass displays a natural patina, and the glass retains its warm coloration and decorative cut detailing, with minor nicks along the edge.
