This Polish ceiling lamp from the 1970s exemplifies the era’s modernist design, blending functionalist rigor with meticulous attention to detail. The opaline white glass shade, highly polished for a lustrous finish, is sculpted into a distinctive, chess-bishop-inspired silhouette: a rounded upper section, a pronounced horizontal collar, and a spherical drop at the base. Three small screws secure the glass to a broad, circular brass mount, finished in a warm, satin gold tone. The visible connections underline the solidity of the construction, while the decorative braided cord ensures contemporary electrical reliability. The lamp is fitted for E27 bulbs. Preserved in very good vintage condition—no visible damage or wear on either glass or brass; all components are original and well cared for. The lamp’s form echoes the voice of the 1970s in Poland, an era that sought harmony between simplicity and subtle ornamentation. The opaline glass diffuses light into a gentle, tranquil glow, while the geometric form recalls the optimism and quest for new aesthetics in postwar design. The satin brass canopy completes the composition with a balanced accent, as if the lamp were narrating an age in which detail mattered, but never overshadowed function. This fixture could be paired with mid-century modern furniture—such as a teak sideboard or an angular lounge chair—or with more contemporary pieces to showcase its timeless character.
