KEAK two table lamps in solid cast brass, Swedish antique design dating from 1960–1970, 38 cm high with a 17 cm square base, in excellent condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
An elegant and increasingly rare pair of Scandinavian table lamps in solid brass, model KEAK Type 2700, dating from the 1970s. These pieces exemplify the quiet luxury and refined restraint that define Nordic lighting design of the period.
The sculptural bases are inspired by classical baluster forms, interpreted through the minimalist lens of 1970s Scandinavia—resulting in a harmonious balance between tradition and modern simplicity. The proportions are carefully considered, creating a sense of calm symmetry that is both decorative and functional.
Crafted in genuine solid brass, the lamps display a warm, golden tone that enhances their sophisticated presence. Over time, the material develops a subtle patina, adding depth and authenticity—qualities highly valued by collectors. Unlike plated alternatives, the solid brass construction ensures durability and a lasting, tactile quality.
Produced by KEAK, a maker associated with Scandinavian lighting from the late 20th century, these lamps reflect a design ethos centered on honest materials, craftsmanship, and timeless form. Well-preserved pairs such as this are becoming increasingly difficult to find on the market, especially with original proportions and balanced condition.
The lamps are complemented by textured fabric shades in a neutral tone, gently diffusing the light and creating a warm, atmospheric glow. This soft illumination is characteristic of Scandinavian interiors, where lighting is essential in shaping a sense of comfort and intimacy.
Condition:
In good vintage condition with light, age-related wear consistent with careful use. The brass retains a beautiful tone with natural signs of patination. Please refer to the images for a full impression.
Dimensions:
Height including shade: 38 cm
Lamp base height: 31 cm
A rare opportunity to acquire a well-balanced and decorative pair of Scandinavian brass lamps—combining timeless design, quality materials, and enduring appeal.
