About the Item

A fantastic six-arm pendant chandelier made of brass and white pleated silk shades, manufactured in Austria c.a 1960 (late 1950s or early 1960s). The organically curved arms are decorated with cut glass pieces. The brass parts have lovely patina and a warm aged hue. The lamp shades are renewed. The light is ready for use, it has been completely restored. The entire wiring, all cables and bulb sockets have been renewed. The fixture has six sockets for medium or standard Edison screw base bulbs type E26 or E27. It is possible to install this fixture in all countries (US, UK, Europe, Asia, Canada,) although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs (e.g. LED or filament) suitable to local electricity. The height of the body incl. shades is 15.7 inch (40 cm). The total drop in the photos is ca. 43 inches (110 cm). The lamp is an example of outstanding Austrian design from this period and high-quality craftsmanship with attention to detail. The light could be based on a design of Josef Frank. In the mid-1920s, Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach founded "Haus Garten" which was sold to Julius Theodor Kalmar after Josef Frank emigrated to Sweden before the second world war. Founded in Vienna by Julius August Kalmar in 1881, Kalmar first specialized in the production of handcrafted objects of cast bronze. After the turn of the century, Julius Theodor Kalmar, son of the original founder, studied under the renowned Austrian architect and designer Josef Hoffmann. In the following years the company realized modern lighting concepts and designs. Kalmar worked together with the Austrian Werkbund and the most important Austrian architects like Josef Frank, Oskar Wlach, Oswald Haerdtl, Clemens Holzmeister, Ernst Plischke, and Oskar Strnad. Kalmar used traditional materials like glass, bronze, brass, and wood. His designs, including this chandelier, lacked ornament but favoured instead a purist aesthetics. Kalmar produced lightings of great craftsmanship, high quality workmanship, and timeliess design. Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco
