Lisa-Johansson Pape Pendant in Brass, Birch, Rattan, & Glass Flowers

A beautiful and early Lisa Johansson-Pape ceiling pendant with a wooden birch center and three brass arms and rattan shades. The center has also removable glass flower decorations.

The pendant is an absolute beauty from the 1940s era when Lisa Johansson-Papé used more wood in her designs during and just after the war. The lamp is in good original condition except for the shades that are of a latter date. The lamp is stamped Orno.

She won a number of medals for her lighting designs in the Milan Triennials in the 1950s.
