About the Item
This rare table lamp, produced in Denmark during the 1950s, exemplifies the material sophistication and craftsmanship central to Scandinavian modern design. The lamp’s sculptural form is anchored by a conical copper shade, perforated to allow filtered light to pass through, creating a nuanced ambient glow. The copper surface exhibits a rich patina, evidencing its age and enhancing the piece’s visual depth.
Supporting the shade is a brass arm that extends from a circular base wrapped in finely braided brown leather. This leather wrapping introduces a tactile, organic element that contrasts with the smooth metals, reflecting the era’s interest in combining diverse textures and materials. The brass components have developed a natural oxidation, contributing to the lamp’s authentic vintage character.
While the designer remains unknown, the lamp’s construction and material use align with the qualities found in mid-century Danish lighting, which prioritized a balance between aesthetic innovation and practical function. The lamp’s dimensions—12 cm in width, 25 cm in depth, and 42 cm in height (approximately 4.7 by 9.8 by 16.5 inches)—make it a compact yet striking object suitable for a variety of interior settings.
Overall, this lamp captures the ingenuity and timeless appeal of mid-century Scandinavian design through its harmonious interplay of copper, brass, and leather, alongside thoughtful detailing and expert craftsmanship.
