This is a matched pair of Orient Minor pendants by Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup, both professionally restored and in good working condition.

When lit, the Orient Minor casts a focused, warm downward pool of light — the white interior bouncing and amplifying the bulb's output, while the perforated slots at the neck release a subtle secondary glow upward. Hung at different heights or as a matched pair at the same level, these two lamps work together to create a strong visual statement above a dining table, kitchen island, or in any double-height space.
