Extremely elegant ceiling lamp from the 1920s/30s by Schwintzer & Gräff - Berlin. Timeless, sophisticated, and in the style of the New Objectivity of German Modernism, as implemented by Bauhaus, Burg Giebichenstein, and open-minded companies and designers of the era of artistic awakening. The lamp consists of mouth-blown satin glass, conically concave, and polished brass fittings. The 2 brass E27 sockets in mounted S-shape are original, as are all other attachments. These E27 sockets are marked with DRP for Deutsches Reichs Patent. We recommend, if an adjustable light switch is installed, to use dimmable bulbs (LED or classic) to further emphasize the character of this classic. It has been completely disassembled and cleaned. Inside the lower conical brass fitting, a small handwritten note in Sütterlin script with Schwintzer&Gräff was found. The pointed ceiling canopy is also a stylistic element often used by this company. The design itself could be attributed to Franz Haegele.
