Ceiling Lamp Model T-372/15 by Hans-agne Jakobsson, 1950s
-
Description
The ceiling lamp model T-372/15, designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by his company in Markaryd, Sweden during the 1950s, is a rare and exemplary piece of Scandinavian modern lighting design. This chandelier features a central brass sphere from which fifteen arms radiate outward, each terminating in a cylindrical brass socket that supports a spherical opaline glass shade. The overall structure is a harmonious composition of warm brass tones and soft, diffused light emitted through the opaline glass, capturing the mid-century Scandinavian emphasis on balanced materials and functional elegance.
The brass framework has developed a natural patina over time, characterized by subtle oxidation and gentle discoloration, which enhances the vintage aesthetic without detracting from the lamp’s structural integrity. The opaline glass shades are preserved in good condition, showing only minor signs of age-related wear that do not affect their translucency or overall appearance. The lamp remains fully functional, reflecting the durable craftsmanship typical of Jakobsson’s work.
Measuring 80 cm in diameter and 90 cm in height (approximately 31.5 by 35.4 inches), the chandelier has a commanding presence suitable for larger interior spaces where it can serve as both a practical light source and a sculptural centerpiece. This model exemplifies Jakobsson’s ability to integrate high-quality materials and innovative design principles into a cohesive and striking lighting fixture from the mid-20th century Scandinavian modern movement.
