Swedish grace period glass and bronze patinated metal table lamp, by böhlmarks, late 1920´s a rare and beautiful swedish grace period glass and patinated metal table lamp in very simple, but yet so extravagant design. The lamp was most likely produced by arvid böhlmarks lampfabrik ab in stockholm, the shade was made by pukeberg glass factory. The green glass shade is giving a absolutely beautiful glow. The measurements are 44 cm in height and the shade has a diameter of 26 cm. The base diameter is 15 cm. Arvid böhlmarks lampfabrik ab as the written full name is, was founded in 1872 in stockholm, sweden. The production was in the beginning kerosene lamps as the first producer in sweden, they then started making kerosene stoves, and also in the early 1900´s became famous as the high end producer of electrical lamps of all sorts. In 1920- late 1940's they also produced chrome steel furniture in the present functionalism / bauhaus style. Bo notini, harald notini, gunnar asplund, alice nordin, alf wallander and jerk werkmäster was the top designers working for böhlmarks at that period of time. Böhlmarks also acquired pukeberg glass factory in 1894. That was where most of all the beautiful glass shades came from. Pukeberg was and became one of the biggest producers of glass for böhlmarks and other high end lamps, in sweden. Swedish grace was a brief yet substantial moment that emerged in the 1920’s and came to represent a brilliant mix of classicism and architectural details. Architecture, interior design, and crafts were defined by simplified shapes and purity of composition -- a huge step away from nationalism and art nouveau. A young and talented generation of architects and designers looked back to classicism and their own nordic traditions, and created an incredibly modern vernacular style characterized by timeless proportions, luxuriously superb handcraft, and playful details. Swedish grace had multi-layered objectives; while maintaining a social agenda, it appealed to the cultural and economic elite of the day through the production of high quality design.
