About the Item

This brass and glass chandelier is full of personality, with unexpected details that make it unique. Most likely a one-off, this model has an essentially mid-century modern look with lovely accents and impeccable craftsmanship. There are a number of details that distinguish this chandelier from its fellow models of the era. Firstly, the five shades face downwards, which is rare for similar chandelier designs not only for this era, but also in general. Secondly, the opal glass shades have a black lines painted on them which is a playful feature that stands out the most when the light is switched on. Lastly, the cluster in the middle is crafted of veneered exotic wood in a drum shape framed by brass rings. While each detail is individualistic on its own, together they create a harmonious design completed by the long brass rod and curved arms. The five arms are arranged symmetrically with each of the pronounced curves holding a bell shaped opal glass shade. When lit, the lamp provides a soft, intimate light that highlights the brass shade holders and the black lines. This model is marked “HKL 450” and likely hails from Scandinavia. Ceiling lighting has been used as a decorative focal point for rooms since the 20th century. As this ceiling lamp exemplifies, European mid-century design, where interior lighting is of particular importance, designers managed to master the art of soft light without blinding or crushing space perception.

Mid-Century Modern Brass and Glass Ceiling Lamp, Europe ca 1950s

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...
