Burl Wood and Brass Table Lamp, Finland, 1940s
A finely crafted Finnish table lamp from the 1940s combining a turned burl wood stem with a solid brass base. The rich, organic pattern of the wood contrasts with the smooth, patinated brass, while the pleated fabric shade complements the form with its gentle light diffusion.
Although the designer and manufacturer are unknown, the quality of craftsmanship and materials suggests professional Finnish production from the late 1940s. The design carries a subtle Art Deco influence, visible in the tapered proportions and decorative beading along the brass base — hallmarks of the period’s transition toward a softer, more natural modernism in Nordic design.
Elegant and timeless, this lamp adds warmth and character to a desk, side table or reading corner — a quietly expressive piece of early Finnish modern lighting.
