1950s Small ceiling lamp by Louis Kalff for Philips, Netherlands

This lovely ceiling lamp is designed by Louis Kalff, manufactured by Philips in the Netherlands around 1950. This eye-catching piece is made of white with ocher yellow lacquered metal, a lovely combination that gives it a very modern style The style is typical for Kalff’s design and therefore a wonderful find of mid-century Dutch lighting that will add nicely to the decor. When lit, it emits a bright downwards light and the perforations in the shade give it an additional, unique touch It remains in good, vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
