Ceiling Lamp in Brass and Glass by Lyfa, 1930s

Creator: Lyfa
Offered by: Studio-Schalling-SE

Description
This very rare ceiling lamp, produced by Lyfa in Denmark during the 1930s, is a distinguished example of early Scandinavian lighting design. The lamp features a gracefully curved brass frame, which has developed a natural aged patina, emphasizing its vintage character and authenticity. Suspended from a central brass stem, the fixture is further adorned with decorative rope details that add a subtle classical elegance to the overall composition.

The lamp is equipped with its original yellow opal glass shades, arranged in a balanced four-arm configuration. These multi-layered glass shades diffuse the light softly, creating a warm and inviting ambiance while effectively minimizing glare. The design embodies early Danish modernism, showcasing a harmony between meticulous craftsmanship and an emphasis on balanced, atmospheric illumination.

Retaining its original materials and patina, this lamp captures the essence of early 20th-century Scandinavian lighting, reflecting both the technical and aesthetic priorities of the era.

The lamp measures 64 cm in diameter and height (25.2 x 25.2 inches).
