Swedish Modern Three-Armed Chandelier with Frosted Glass Shades, Sweden 1940s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This Swedish Modern chandelier epitomises the sleek and functional design ethos that characterised mid-century lighting. Scandinavian design in general gained world recognition in the 1940s, thanks to its focus on simple, high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Swedish designers, in particular, blended elegance with minimalism, prioritising clean lines and functionality. This chandelier’s design reflects these principles, offering a timeless look that has remained relevant in modern interiors.

The body of this chandelier is made of brass, which is both durable and visually striking. The brass has been worked with a perforated decoration, giving the lamp an intricate yet subtle adornment that enhances the overall design. The chandelier features three curved arms, each supporting a light point, which creates a well-balanced, harmonious composition. The arms are positioned symmetrically, with each shade gently flaring outward. The partially frosted glass shades with stripe decorations, provide a soft, diffused light that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The frosted glass contrasts beautifully with the polished brass, creating a warm, inviting glow while also adding visual depth to the piece. The combination of these materials reflects mid-century modernism’s appreciation for simplicity, functionality, and beauty in everyday objects.

This chandelier is not just a source of light but a carefully crafted statement piece that exudes understated elegance. Its delicate detailing, paired with its clean, symmetrical form, makes it an enduring example of Swedish Modern design that will continue to illuminate and elevate interiors with its classic, timeless appeal.
