Brass and Opaque Glass Ceiling Lamp, Europe ca 1950s
About the Item
The best thing about hanging ceiling lights - besides their stylish look - is that they are a great option to make interiors appear more spacious. They can be used to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room.
This lamp’s design revolves around the geometric harp. Normally, a lamp harp is but a common component of a lamp to which the shade is attached. Here however, it is the main design element that sets the overall impression. Like with classic lamps, the harp is composed of two parts, the saddle which is fastened under the lamp socket, and the frame attached to the saddle at its lower end and to the rod at its upper end. This brass frame holds the robust opaline-like shade. The light colour of the glass and it’s shape greatly accentuate the harp’s smooth surface and brass colour, the contrast creates great visual interest.
Adding to this contrast in shapes is the long brass rod stemming from the harp. The evidently modern approach particularly exemplifies the aesthetic of European mid-century lighting design, favouring unique shapes and forms. The airy arrangement further accentuates the separate elements and the quality of the execution.

Located in Utrecht, NL
The best thing about hanging ceiling lights - besides their stylish look - is that they are the best option to make interiors appear more spacious. They can be used them to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room.
This lamp’s design revolves around the clear glass sphere. Glass is the perfect material for light shades as it allows light to pass through it. This means that glass light shades offer almost as much illumination as a bare light bulb. The result is bright and vibrant light, and this is exactly what this model offers. The design’s main point is its effective simpleness, free of any unnecessary detail. The uncluttered look leaves the attention on the materials and on functionality that the form is also in service of. As such, the canopy, the rod, and the shade holder are all quite understated, accentuating the glass shade instead. The pairing of glass and brass is perhaps the most iconic material duo in mid-century modern European lighting...
