Palle Suenson

commissioned for the Aarhus Oil Factory A/S, Aarhus, Denmark

The bronze shade in very good condition, consistent with age and gentle use. The bronze with a light martele finish and a nice patination throughout. The light is of impressive size and secures to the wall through a series of screws and plates. The lighting wire radiates down from the center of the shade (not illustrated). The interior with a central glass right with a crack through it and one of two light sockets is slightly use and could be better secured. The glass diffuser that sits at the top is new and in good condition. A very scarce example with a modern silhouette, presenting very well overall.
