A large and fantastic light fixture model Tulipan 73 HL by J.T. Kalmar, Vienna, Austria, manufactured in midcentury, circa 1970 (late 1960s or early 1970s).Two lights are available. The price is per light.The name Tulipan derives from the tulip shaped hand blown bubble glasses. Each glass piece is handmade and therefore a unique piece. In total there are 73 glass pieces which are mounted with nickeled screws on a white enameled metal frame.The height of the body without rod is ca. 15.7 inch / 40 cm. The current overall drop is ca. 33 inch / 84 cm but we offer a customizing of the rod to any length for free of charge.The piece has great volume and in reality it looks much bigger than you would expect it from the dimensions. It is in very good condition, ready to use.The lamp has 12 sockets for small Edison screw base bulbs E14 (max. 40W per bulb). It is possible to install this fixture in all countries (US, UK, Europe, Asia, Canada,) although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs suitable to local electricity. LED bulbs can be used. It also can be used with a dimmer. Light bulbs are not included. The light is labeled and documented in the Kalmar catalogue from the 1970s.Kalmar had a cooperation with several Italian glass makers located in Murano (e.g. Mazzega, Venini) and got the glasses from there. Several other European companies like Orrefors (Sweden), Limburg and Hillebrand from Germany, and Arredoluce, Stilnovo, Fontana Arte from Italy used hand blown or textured glass for their lamps in 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
