Art Deco White Chrome Metal and Opal Glass Hanging Lamp, Europe ca 1920s

Art Deco lighting used simple geometric shapes and patterns with clean symmetrical lines to give a bold, new modern lighting look for the 1920s and 1930s. A whole new world of lighting design was opening up with electricity now being widespread, and polished chrome and glass ceiling lights and wall lights were the height of fashion. The look of these stylish lamps from the Art Deco age still resonates today and is a popular choice for lighting contemporary interiors.

The best thing about hanging ceiling lamps - besides their stylish look - is that they are a great option to make interiors appear more spacious. They can be used to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room. Chrome was very much the new material of the Art Deco era, and when combined with glass, a sleek shiny look can be created, like this model exemplifies. The pairing of glass and chrome metal is perhaps one of the most iconic material duos in European lighting design, and for good reason: the light emitted from the glass shades brightens up the colour of the metal to create a modern and stylish effect. The design’s main point is its effective simplicity, free of any unnecessary ornamentation. The uncluttered look leaves the attention on the materials and on functionality that the form is also in service of. In addition, while the design is quite succinct with clear lines and precision in the smallest details, it still possesses a luxuriously stylish impression.

This model has an outstanding sense of proportions and balance with an inherently modern look that is sure to stand out in any space.
