Swedish Modern Dusty Pink Glass Table Lamp, 1940s

A Swedish table lamp from the 1940s with a round, ribbed glass base in a dusty pink tone. The lamp is finished with a nickel-plated brass collar and paired with a vintage conical fabric shade, creating a soft and atmospheric glow when lit. Its spherical form and vertical ribbing lend it both simplicity and subtle decorative character.

Glass lighting from Sweden in the 1940s often reflected the transition between traditional craftsmanship and early modernist tendencies. Makers at this time experimented with shape and proportion while retaining artisanal methods, such as blown and ribbed glass. This lamp captures the functionalist spirit of the era, where form and function were harmonized in everyday objects.

This lamp is ideal as a bedside light or accent piece, bringing both function and mood into an interior. The combination of dusty pink glass and nickel-plated brass adds warmth and depth while maintaining a timeless, understated elegance.

Lamp’s switch is positioned directly in the bulb holder.
