Early and Rare Josef Frank lamp Austria c. 1928 Early Josef Frank lamp from his Austrian period, produced for his firm Haus & Garten, c. 1928. The double-curve or sine-curve element became idiomatic for Frank's work in Sweden for Svensk Tenn, but was an interesting and original idea for articulating and ornamenting lighting in the 1920's--at least if you subsctibe to the wave theory of light. This lamp has an old repaint over the original base metal, and features a conical metal shade, unlike the later Svensk Tenn lamps, which have pleated or print fabric shades. A rare and wonderful design. Price $8,500 Condition Good original condition with obvious age-related wear to the metal surfaces. Measurements Height: 23.5 in. Width/Length: 22 in. Depth: 12 in. Specifications Number of items: 1 Materials/Technique: Metal with vintage repainting. Creator: Josef Frank Reference: U0911108285308 |
