A stunning large chandelier by J.T Kalmar for Kalmar lighting, Austria, circa 1950s/60s.
Kalmar studied under the Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann at the Vienna School of Applied Arts, he was inspired by the shift to modernity taking place in Europe and sought to work with the leading architects and designers of his time, including Austrian Werkbund architects Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach as well as Ernst Plischke, Clemens Holzmeister and Oswald Haerdtl.
Circular brass frame supporting nine shades made of thick textured glass. When lit the texture of the glass gives off a really beautiful light.
In good condition, no damage to the glass shades. Some wear to the brass but nothing distracting. Comes with brass ceiling cup and hanging hook inside. This is quite a heavy light so will need a sturdy hook in the ceiling.
Approximately 71cm diameter by 88cm drop.
Vintage painting of a landscape reflected in water made up of loose impressionistic brushstrokes. Painted on board, unframed. Not dated but I imagine it’s around 1950s. Signed to bottom left.
In good condition, some ageing to the paint and one or two minor losses.
63.5cm x 45.75cm.

A modernist side table made from Bakelite, English 1930s. Maker unfortunately unknown.
Round lipped top with nicely shaped interlocking legs. The top has a rich mottled colour.
In very good condition, no damage. The legs have some fading and slight variation in colour.
60cm diameter x 46cm high.
A beautifully shaped 1950s/60s table lamp with wooden base and black metal shade. I’ve not seen this design before and unfortunately have not been able to find out the designer.
The wooden base is a very pleasing shape and the the cable neatly tucks into the upright. Brass fitting allows the shade position to be adjustable. The black shade is domed at one end and has a row of perforations.
The shade has quite a bit of wear including a ding to the top dome and scratches but this is a very cute little lamp. It has been rewired but please note that due to the way the wire is tucked into the upright it has only been wired with two core cable so there is no earth.
37cm high.

A pair of tubular metal pendant lights with brass prong fittings, circa 1960s. Price is for the pair together.
Simple & minimal design, would work well above a kitchen worktop or in a hallway.
The shades have been professionally repainted. They are in very good condition, there is some surface wear under the paint on one side of one of the shades (see detail photo) but this is really not noticeable when they are hung.
New bulbholders and rewired with fabric-covered cable.
11.5cm diameter x 25.5cm high. Approximately 180cm length cable.

TC100 soup coffee cups designed in 1959 by Nick Roericht and made by Thomas Rosenthal, Germany. Roericht designed the TC100 range for his thesis at the Ulm School of Design in 1959.
Price is per cup (8 available). 3 saucers also available separately (£8 each).
I think technically these are tea cups but more useful as small coffee cups. 8cm diameter x 5.5cm high.
A true display of form following function, Roericht was interested in robustness and practicality. The design was quickly snapped up by MOMA, New York for their permanent collection.
In excellent condition with no damage.
