Expertly crafted, the lamp showcases a polished walnut stem with intricate relief detailing, resting on a round brass base with an integrated push-button switch. The disc-shaped shade in original green-lacquered brass is elegantly secured by a solid brass finial. Two bakelite e27 sockets are mounted inside the shade with sculptural curved brass arms, allowing for warm, even illumination. This piece is a collector’s gem—an authentic blend of functionality and timeless swedish craftsmanship. A perfect addition to any modernist, scandinavian, or art deco-inspired interior. The renowned swedish department store nordiska kompaniet, nk, opened in stockholm in 1902. It played a significant role in introducing modern and innovative retail practices to sweden, bringing the concept of a department store to the city and offering a wide range of goods under one roof. The company had their workshops in nyköping, which were known for their exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to quality.
