Mid-Century Finnish Ceiling Lamp in Brass and Glass, Attr. Itsu 1950s

Description
A stunning and delicate Finnish mid-century ceiling lamp that is most probably made by Itsu, one of the leading lighting manufacturers in Finland. The lamp features five lightbases with opaline flower-shaped glass shades. The center has a cylindrical rimmed decoration with brass leaves crowning it. The lamp is not stamped and could not be found in catalogues but is almost certainly Itsu. The glass shades can be found in the Itsu catalogues. The overall condition is good and the patina is beautiful. The lamp is in its original condition.

Itsu was one of the leading light fixture manufacturing companies and a daughter company of Idman. Along with companies like Taito Oy, Idman and Orno they defined what Finnish design lamps would become. Itsu made high quality lamps and produced lamps for major projects, including some of Alvar Aalto's projects like the Aalto University.

Notes:	We attribute this lamp to be manufactured by Itsu, as it is completely consistent with their known body of work. However due to lack of documentation we can't be certain.
