A beautiful wall fixture, model 8661, produced by the Swedish manufacturer Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik in the 1940s. Attributed to the architect Harald Notini, artistic director at the factory. Two bell-shaped shades, crafted from steel and painted in eggshell white, are held in place by two flexible brass arms. The fixture is anchored by a circular brass wall fitting with two integrated light switches. The Böhlmarks logotype and model number are stamped into the metal. The lighting manufacturer Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik was founded in 1872 in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. Originally an importer of paraffin lamps, the company soon began producing kerosene heaters. By the late 1880s, Böhlmarks had become the first Swedish manufacturer of paraffin lamps. In 1894, the company acquired the Pukeberg glassworks, which produced both lampshades and household glassware. In 1904, Böhlmarks began manufacturing electric lighting fixtures—a product line that soon replaced traditional oil and paraffin lamps. Over the years, many prominent designers worked with the company, including Gunnar Asplund, Harald Notini, and Sigurd Lewerentz. The company was dissolved in 1977. This piece has an attribution mark,
