Swedish Modern Brass Table Lamp by Böhlmarks
€9,500.00

Very rare Swedish Modern table lamp executed in brass and bakelite, model 15339 by Böhlmarks. The design is defined by its wide, domed shade, delicately perforated with both small cross-shaped openings and fine round holes, creating a nuanced and atmospheric play of light.

The slender, fluted bakelite column provides a refined vertical contrast to the broad shade, anchored by a stepped brass base with rich surface variation. The composition is balanced and functional, with decorative elements integrated into a clean, structured form.

When lit, the perforations create a soft, star-like effect, adding a subtle decorative quality to the otherwise restrained design. An early and uncommon example of perforated shade work in Swedish lighting, possibly the first of its kind in a table lamp.

The brass shows a deep, natural patina with visible wear and markings, particularly to the base, enhancing the character of the piece. The bakelite remains well preserved apart from a small crack at the bottom.
