Swedish Grace Copper and Hand Blown Glass Table Lamp, 1920s

Swedish Grace table lamp, early 1920´s made of copper with simple but yet beautiful details and a white hand blown glass shade. The table lamp comes with standard US electrical plug and the lampholder is for standard US bulbs. The lamp is in original condition and it has only been rewired professionally to top condition. The original switch is in full working condition. Swedish Grace was a brief yet substantial moment that emerged in the 1920’s and came to represent a brilliant mix of classicism and architectural details. Architecture, interior design, and crafts were defined by simplified shapes and purity of composition — a huge step away from nationalism and Jugendstil. A young and talented generation of architects and designers looked back to classicism and their own Nordic traditions, and created an incredibly modern vernacular style characterized by timeless proportions, luxuriously superb handcraft, and playful details. Swedish Grace had multi-layered objectives; while maintaining a social agenda, it appealed to the cultural and economic elite of the day through the production of high quality design.
