Description from the seller
RAAK Amsterdam Mid-Century Hand-Blown Smoked Brown Glass Pendant Lamp – ca. 1960s
In excellent condition – No reserve.
Description
A beautiful and highly decorative RAAK Amsterdam pendant lamp, featuring a large, organically shaped hand-blown smoked brown/olive glass shade with a striking glossy finish.
The combination of the warm smoked glass, brass-coloured fitting and black suspension creates a particularly atmospheric Mid-Century Modern appearance. The shade becomes even more impressive when illuminated, producing a warm amber glow and beautiful reflections.
RAAK Amsterdam was founded in 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn and became one of the Netherlands' best-known lighting manufacturers, working with several important designers and glass producers during the Mid-Century period. RAAK's 1960s lighting is particularly sought after for its combination of innovative forms, quality materials and understated Dutch design.
A wonderful original RAAK piece for a Mid-Century, modernist or vintage interior — a substantial high-end quality design lamp and a real eye-catcher.
