Lisa Johansson-Papé Table Lamp Model 1322 in Yellow & Brass, Orno 1940s

A beautiful and rare table lamp by Lisa Johansson-Papé model 1322 for Orno. The handmade art glass was free blown in Karhula, one of the leading glass manufacturers in Finland and the first producers of the iconic Aalto vases. The yellow glass base is stunning with places of interwoven clear glass. The combination with the brass and wooden shade is also a very natural and very elegant one. The lamp is in its original condition except for the reupholstered shade.
