Lisa Johansson-Papé Flower Fountain Pendant in Brass & Colored Glass, Orno 1940s

A stunning and early Lisa Johansson-Pape rare ceiling pendant with a salmon beige opaline glass shade and delicate brass-glass flowers. A sculptural beauty with the decorative flowers in the middle seemingly splashing like a fountain from the glass reflector. The pendant is from the 1940s, an era when Lisa Johansson-Papé used more sculptural and decorative elements in her designs.

The lamp is in good original condition, unpolished and retains the original lacqeur. The lamp is stamped Orno.
