About the Item

A rare Finnish wall light designed and produced by Valinte Oy in the 1950s, exemplifying the refined functionality and material quality characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian lighting. The lamp features a beautifully shaped perforated brass shade, allowing light to softly filter through and create an atmospheric pattern, complemented by an opaline glass diffuser that provides a warm, even glow. The light is mounted on an elegant brass wall arm with clean bends and adjustable mounting hardware, showcasing both practical engineering and restrained decorative detail. The combination of perforated brass and opaline glass reflects the period’s interest in balancing direct and ambient illumination, making the piece equally suitable as a reading light, bedside wall lamp, or accent lighting in a living space. The brass surfaces display a desirable aged patina consistent with age, while the opaline glass remains in good condition. This wall light is a fine example of Finnish mid-century craftsmanship and a scarce model by Valinte Oy, making it a compelling addition to a curated interior or design collection. Dimensions: Depth: 71 cm (28 in) Height: 36 cm (14.2 in) Shade diameter: 37 cm (14.6 in) Condition: Very good vintage condition. Minor surface wear and patina to the brass consistent with age and use.
