About the Item

1950s Carl Thore Perforated Brass Pendant Executed in perforated brassed metal with an attractive patina, this sculptural pendant lamp is highly characteristic of quintessential Swedish design of the midcentury era. Unmarked. The perforated shade casts geometric light and shadow patterns when illuminated. Price per item. Two pendants available. Accommodates 1x 60W equivalent standard medium base (e26) LED bulb (LED only). Professionally rewired for US electrical with new period-style 4.25" brass ceiling canopy added. Includes 60 inches of black double-twist period-style cloth cord. Not UL listed, but recommended UL listing possible from authorized 3rd party vendor upon request for an additional fee. Contact us to facilitate. Sigurd 'Carl Thore' Lindkvist worked for the lighting firm Luko, before joining Granhaga Metallindustri AB as Head of Sales and Lighting Design. He adopted the pseudonym 'Carl Thore' when he was presenting his lights to a client, not wanting to reveal to the customer his identity as a designer. The lights were labeled ‘Carl Thore Design’ from that point forward. Wear consistent with age and use. Some age appropriate scuffs, dings, nicks, patina, and wear as largely shown and noted only for accuracy. Please note that only one lamp is photographed in the listing, but that the lamps are in similar condition and present well as a pair. Please contact us for additional images or video.
