Opal glass – usually a white glass, which used to be called milk glass. Opal glass has the ability to diffuse light softly, efficiently 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 began to be 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 46 cm. Lamp part in untreated brass length 20 cm. Cup in opal glass. Cup diameter 31 cm, height 26 cm.
