Classic ceiling lamp in Funkis style. Common in Europe during the 1930s – 1950s. The pendant 50cm, untreated brass. The shade itself is slightly cone-shaped with a leaf pattern at the bottom, hence its name “Flowers”. The glass is of mouth-blown opal glass.

Opal glass – Opal glass is a commonly white glass, which used to be called milk glass. Opal glass has a very good ability to diffuse light effectively and evenly. The surface of our glass is glossy, but opal glass can also be satin or matt. In art, opal glass has ancient origins but was first produced in Venice in the 15th century.

Brass – or poor man’s gold as it used to be called – is a non-magnetic copper alloy, where copper is alloyed with zinc. The higher the copper content, the yellower the tone. Untreated brass oxidizes over time and gives a beautiful matte yellow-brown tone with patina. Untreated brass was completely dominant on fittings and details before the turn of the century 1900.

Ceiling lamp total length 76 cm. Lamp part in untreated brass length 50 cm. Shade in opal glass. Cup diameter 31 cm, height 26 cm.

Shoemaker lamp small green shade white cord

The cobbler’s lamp was one of the first indoor electric light fixtures.

The lamp provides nice and soft spot lighting and is suitable for smaller spaces such as windows.

All metal parts are made of heavy, polished, unlacquered brass. The shade is green with white inside and is made of hand-blown opal glass.
