Heavy Brass and Glass Ceiling and Wall Lamp · France, 1950s

1950s France combined post-war craftsmanship with the understated elegance that became typical of Parisian interior design of the era. Brass as a warm metal tone and matte shimmering glass were among the preferred materials - both in the grandes maisons of the capital and in the workshops of the provinces. This lamp clearly fits into this environment and is highly likely to be of French production.

Characteristic is its heavy, imposing design. Weighing 3.1 kilograms with a diameter of 28 centimeters, the piece has a massive substance, as only older manufactured goods possess – the brass is fully worked, and the glass body sits snugly in the frame. This construction also explains its dual usability: The lamp can be used both as a flush-mounted ceiling light and as a generous wall sconce. Two E27 sockets provide even, warm light.

Very good original condition from the 1950s. A substantial lamp for rooms where material and workmanship should remain visible – suitable for classic, modern, and mixed interiors.
