Item Details

Cylindrical form blown glass table lamp having encased bubbles with a nickel plated stem, designed by Josef Frank (1885-1967) and produced by Svenskt Tenn, Sweden. Circa 1940.


The original bayonet is present and the lamp has been re-wired with 3 core and PAT tested to UK standard.


Overall in very good condition, showing light signs of use with no damage to the glass. A couple of minimal spots on the glass to note, a few light scratch marks. The base shows plenty of signs of use around the pontil, which is what you want you see for an earlier piece. A few light nibbles to the bases rim.


The 1819 lamp was designed by Josef Frank in 1934 for Svenskt Tenn in the shape of a globe. He originally called it the “Glass Globe”. There were four shapes designed after this period - The globe, the cube, calabash and the cylinder, of which this design is.
