Belongs to the Beehive ceiling lamp. White mouth-blown opal glass.

Classic ceiling lamp in Art Deco style. Existed in Sweden and Europe during the 1920-1930s. The glass cup has an undulating shape and is reminiscent of a beehive, hence its name. The glass dome is 30 cm in diameter, about 28 cm high.

The glass is mouth-blown opal glass, formerly called milk glass. Commonly available in white color. Opal glass diffuses light softly, effectively and evenly. The surface of our glass is glossy, but can also be satin or matte.

The cobbler’s lamp was, alongside the simple porcelain lamp holders, the first real indoor luminaire for electric light.

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.

All sheet metal parts are made of heavy, polished, unlacquered brass. The screen is made of opal glass.

A specially designed black plastic cable strain relief relieves the cable so that it does not carry the entire weight of the luminaire. A porcelain ceiling bracket with a wooden base plate (item no. 3041-64) is available as an optional accessory for a contemporary ceiling connection.

Hand-blown opal glass shade, diameter 20 cm. Lamp holder in untreated brass with ceramic base for E27. Twisted three-core (grounded) textile cord 2 m, black, included.

Plug not included.

Classic ceiling lamp in Art Deco style. Appeared in Sweden and Europe during the 1920s and 1930s. The glass cup has an undulating shape and is reminiscent of a beehive, hence its name. The glass cup is 20 cm in diameter, about 18 cm high and together with the pendulum the lamp is about 40 cm long.

The pendant is made of untreated brass. 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.

The glass is mouth-blown opal glass, formerly called milk glass. Commonly available in white color. Opal glass diffuses light softly, effectively and evenly. The surface of our glass is glossy, but can also be satin or matte.

Made in Europe and sold in several combinations and lengths. Also available in yellow-tinted opal glass and nickel-plated brass. Choose between 20 cm and 50 cm pendants.

Our popular school lamp is available in two lengths, long and short depending on the ceiling height. To satisfy anyone with a lower ceiling height than was common at the turn of the century 1900, we have developed a 15 cm shorter version.

The school lamp is a type that was once common in school halls, corridors, hallways and stairwells. Common model at the turn of the century 1900. Painted with black oil paint. White enamel shade with blue border. Mouth-blown glass bowl.
