Golden Bell lamp made by Louis Poulsen in Denmark probably in the 1950s. The shade is made of solid bras and very heavy (the newer versions, even the ones from the 60s/70s are made of anodised aluminium and much lighter).
The 'Golden Bell' pendant lamp was designed in 1936 for the interior of the Savoy restaurant in Helsinki by Alvar Alto and his wife Aino. It was characteristic of Aalto to treat each building as a complete work of art, right down to the furniture and light fittings.
The shade has a hole pattern all around the rim which creates a nice light and shadow effect all around. The lamp comes with its original E27/E26 porcelain light fixing and the original textile cable.
The lamp has a very nice golden patina with some darker spots. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
from
misattribution,
Up to 250V (Europe/UK Standard).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
