Blue Pressed Glass
Chandelier
Eric Höglund
Sweden, 1960s
£2,200
Description:
A wrought-iron and pressed-glass chandelier designed by Erik Höglund for Kosta Boda during the 1960s.
The blackened wrought-iron framework of this 6-armed chandelier is adorned with a frothy constellation of pressed glass circles. Pressed into medallions, which hang beneath each candle holder and drip pan, is a small fish.
This playful inclusion of figurative detail is typical of Höglund's designs for Kosta Boda during this period, and could also be seen in his popular "People" series of decanters that were designed for Kosta Boda in 1957.
A similar chandelier by Höglund, in amber glass, is also available here.
