The design is defined by its fluted bakelite column, creating a strong vertical rhythm, balanced by the softly domed brass shade and finely turned details. The composition reflects the restrained classicism of the swedish grace period — refined, symmetrical, and quietly decorative. The stepped base and subtle transitions between materials give the lamp a sense of proportion and architectural clarity. The brass shows natural patina and age-related wear, adding depth and character. The bakelite column remains well preserved. There is a visible crack in the masonite element, as shown in the images, as well as some paint loss to the underside of the shade. Wiring: all our lamps are wired for eu standards.
