Lyfa - Bent Karlby - Lamp - Opaline glass - Denmark

Bent Karlby for Lyfa – Pendant Lamp with Perforated Shade, Denmark, 1950s An elegant Danish pendant lamp designed by Bent Karlby and produced by Lyfa in the 1950s. The lamp features a black-lacquered metal shade with finely perforated star-shaped cut-outs, creating a warm and atmospheric light effect when illuminated. The opaline glass diffuser is suspended in a sculptural brass framework and held in place by a solid brass base, adding both visual refinement and material contrast. The combination of black lacquer, brass, and opaline glass is characteristic of Karlby’s refined mid-century lighting designs. The lamp measures approximately 25 cm in diameter and 45 cm in height (excluding suspension) and is height-adjustable. It is in good vintage condition, with minor signs of age consistent with its period. A timeless Scandinavian design, well suited for dining areas, hallways, or as a distinctive focal point in both modern and classic interiors. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. Large and fragile items are shipped via Magic Movers or a comparable professional art and furniture transport service. Delivery time is usually 2–3 weeks, depending on destination and availability. Smaller items are shipped via insured parcel service and are carefully packed. Shipping options may vary by destination. Buyers will be informed after the auction.
