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.
