Indoors - Lighting

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

The model became common as ceiling lighting in all rooms in simpler homes from the 1910s onwards, however in wealthier environments it became the standard luminaire for less lavish rooms, such as hallways, kitchens and maids’ rooms.

The lamp provides nice and soft spot lighting and fits nicely over the dining table, preferably several in a row.

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

A specially designed cable strain relief relieves the cable so that it does not carry the entire weight of the luminaire. An optional porcelain ceiling bracket with a wooden base plate is available for a contemporary ceiling connection.

Shade of hand-blown green opal glass with white inside. Diameter 25 cm. Lamp holder in unpainted polished brass with ceramic base. Light source for E27 base. 2 m black twisted textile covered cable (3-wire, grounded) included. Plug not included.

Common detail in the early 1900s as a base for wall switches, wall lamps, etc. Especially good for plastered ceilings and walls, but also fulfills a great practical and aesthetic function if you want to mount a lamp or switch on a base of, for example, pearl board. Pre-drilled. The bracket should be painted white for white ceilings and black for wall switches.

Wall lights were not common in the past. However, in rooms with high ceilings, such as in community buildings, there could be many wall lights. However, they were rarely seen in homes. The exception was bedside lamps in bourgeois homes and on the larger farms. Sometimes there were also wall lamps in the farm offices. Bedside lamps were also found in old boarding houses and hotels. The model for our lamp comes from a farm in Dalarna. The original is probably made in the 1910s. The material is black iron and the workmanship of very high quality.
