A luxurious brass ceiling lamp with white opaline glass, designed by Harald Notini for Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik, model number 11405. Harald Notini was one of the leading names in Swedish lighting design of the 1930s and 1940s, and Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik in Stockholm was renowned for its high-quality fixtures — this model shows both at their best. The design is built up in generous, architectural proportions. The large dome shade in warm brass has fine pierced slits along its rim, and when the lamp is lit, thin rays of light escape through the slits and trace delicate lines on the ceiling and walls. The dome hangs above a bowl of white opaline glass, suspended on a brass stem crowned with a cone-shaped canopy. The top part is an uplight including three lamps which lights up the ceiling. Above the opaline glass are four lamps, spreading a soft and pleasant downward light — no direct lighting makes the lamp glare free. Together the two light sources give the room a warm, even glow, with the opaline glass as a softly luminous centre. With its diameter of 60 cm the lamp holds a room with ease, yet the white glass and warm brass make it equally at home in a modern interior as in a period one. This is a striking piece of Swedish 1940s lighting design. Very good vintage condition consistent with age and use. Warm patina with minor wear and small marks on the brass, as shown in the photos. Rewired and ready to use. Diameter 60 cm, total height ca 50 cm.
