Mid Century Design from Europe
Before, more than 35 years ago, when I was a child, I had always admired a pendant that hung above the table at home with my grandparents. They did not have much nice stuff in the house but the light was always attract my attention. Much later, when my grandmother moved into a retirement home, the stuff in the house were distributed among the family members.
The lamp went to me and then became the center of my student room. Later I expanded it with a mid century design table, chair, couch and stuff but lamps themselves are still where my attention goes to. I had at that time a corner from my house under the stairs decorated by them to hang more than 20 lamps at different heights, which gives a beautiful artistic and decorative effect just as people puts plants, art or other decorative elements in the house. A lamp can be used not only for functional light but also a decoration object in itself. Well chosen it determines the atmosphere. 20 years later, the collection became too big and I must confess that I should do away some lamps so another one can enjoy them.
Each lamp has therefore been of myself and where necessary I replaced the wires and fittings, cleaned the glass and polished the plastics and metals. Mind that, most lamps are 30 to 50 years old so do not expect new lamps but the best you can get from that time.
I mentioned always honest about something like when a lamp is in lesser condition and reflect that into the price.
The prices that I use are the prices below the market value, for me it is a serious hobby that I want to share with others and not a job that provides me my livelihood. If you see the same condition lamps for less elsewhere, please note me so we can adjust the price.
All the best,
