Mid-Century Modernist Sculptural Handblown Glass Flush Mount by J.T. Kalmar





Mid-Century Modernist Sculptural Handblown Glass Flush Mount by J.T. Kalmar
This sophisticated handblown Mid-Century Modernist handblown glass flush mount is composed of translucent smoked glass with a subtle striated pattern, effervescent bubbles, and a S-shaped embellishment in opaque white glass. It was produced in Austria, circa 1960 by J.T. Kalmar- one of the most revered names in Mid-Century Modernist lighting. Its rich organic surface testifies to the fact that it is a unique object, fastidiously handblown by artisans in Western Europe. The glass shade is fastened in place with the original hardware- a conical, polished brass finial. The fixture has been newly rewired to American standards and is in excellent condition.
