Edward Hald Attributed Pendant Lamp, Decorated Glass, Orrefors, Sweden, 1930s

Description
This striking glass pendant was produced in Orrefors, Sweden in the 1930s. The design in the Swedish Grace style is attributed to Edward Hald, the sculptor, painter and glass artist who worked for the Swedish glass company Orrefors Glasbruk from 1917 to 1947, where he became known for his innovative designs and techniques. The design is marked by the sandblasted glass shade in a very light and soft apricot color. The beautiful, entirely hand made decorations in cut and etched glass illustrate the high level of craftsmanship of the Orrefors production in the 1930s. The six wheat and leaf decorations are even more emphasized with the light on, with the refined texture of the decorations even more visible. The lamp is attached to a pendant holder, stem and ceiling cup made of a matte nickel plated metal. The lamp is in very good original condition, the metal with a natural patina.
