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.

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.
