About the Item

A beautiful five-arm ceiling lamp made by Saariston Valaisin in the late 1950s or early 1960s, featuring hand-painted glass shades and an elegant brass structure. This lamp captures the warm, decorative side of Finnish mid-century lighting design, where functional forms were paired with subtle ornamentation and craftsmanship. The five opaline glass shades are delicately painted by hand, each displaying a softly winding golden pattern that gives the lamp a gentle sense of movement. Their rounded form sits harmoniously on the curved brass arms, creating a balanced silhouette that feels both refined and inviting. The central stem and canopy extend the brass lines upward, giving the lamp a graceful vertical presence. The center piece, painted in black and hold everything together. The combination of warm brass and creamy hand-decorated glass gives the piece a distinctly nostalgic atmosphere, reminiscent of Finnish homes from the period. It provides five light sources, offering both good illumination and a soft ambient glow when fitted with lower-intensity bulbs. The lamp is ideal for dining areas, living rooms, or any interior seeking a touch of mid-century elegance without becoming overly minimal. This is a charming and well-preserved example of Saariston Valaisin’s work that are rather rare to see these days. It showcases the hand-crafted details and decorative sensibility that defined Finnish lighting in the 1950s and 1960s. It brings warmth, character, and a gentle sophistication to any room. The light is stamped by the manufacturer.
