A rare and highly sculptural model 8260 table lamp produced by boréns borås, sweden, during the 1950s. Designed to function equally as a table lamp or wall-mounted light, this versatile model exemplifies the refined engineering and architectural aesthetic that established boréns as one of sweden's leading lighting manufacturers during the post-war period. the lamp features a beautifully proportioned conical spun aluminium shade finished in its original deep crimson-red lacquer, with a white-painted interior to maximise light reflection. Precision-cut diamond-shaped perforations encircle the lower section of the shade, creating an attractive decorative pattern of light when illuminated while adding visual lightness to the design. the adjustable shade is supported by a slender solid brass stem incorporating a pivot joint, allowing the light to be directed precisely where required. The distinctive v-shaped cast iron base, finished in matching red lacquer and raised on elegant brass feet, provides excellent stability and incorporates an integrated hanging point, enabling the lamp to be mounted securely on the wall if desired. model 8260 is one of boréns' best-known multifunctional designs from the 1950s. Like many boréns lighting models of the period, it was marketed under the company's own name rather than that of an individual designer, reflecting the firm's emphasis on quality manufacturing and in-house design rather than designer attribution. materials original crimson-red lacquered aluminium shade white painted aluminium interior solid brass stem and pivot cast iron v-shaped base brass feet original bakelite e27 bulb holder dimensions height: 34 cm width: 18 cm shade diameter: 12 cm electrical 1 × e27 bulb 110–240v led compatible fully tested and in excellent working order condition very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use.
