MURANO ICE FROSTED GLASS WALL LAMPS BY KALMAR FRANKEN, AUSTRIA, CIRCA 1960S. THIS BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF WALL LAMPS SHOWCASES THE HIGH LEVEL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND MATERIAL QUALITY FOR WHICH KALMAR FRANKEN BECAME INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED. FEATURING THICK CURVED FROSTED GLASS SHADES WITH A DISTINCTIVE ICE GLASS TEXTURE, THESE LAMPS POSSESS A SCULPTURAL PRESENCE THAT MAKES THEM EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE WHETHER ILLUMINATED OR NOT.

THE HANDCRAFTED GLASS EXHIBITS A RICHLY TEXTURED SURFACE RESEMBLING FROZEN WATER OR CARVED ICE, A SIGNATURE EFFECT OF MANY OF KALMAR’S MOST DESIRABLE DESIGNS. THE SUBTLE CURVATURE OF THE GLASS ADDS ELEGANCE TO THE FORM, WHILE THE FROSTED FINISH SOFTENS THE LIGHT BEAUTIFULLY. WHEN ILLUMINATED, THE GLASS EMITS A WARM AND ATMOSPHERIC GLOW, REVEALING THE DEPTH AND COMPLEXITY OF THE TEXTURE AND CREATING A WONDERFUL AMBIENT LIGHT EFFECT.

BOTH LAMPS REMAIN IN VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION WITH ONLY MINOR SIGNS OF AGE AND USE. THEIR TIMELESS DESIGN ALLOWS THEM TO INTEGRATE EFFORTLESSLY INTO BOTH MODERN AND CLASSIC INTERIORS. A BEAUTIFUL AND INCREASINGLY RARE PAIR OF AUSTRIAN WALL LIGHTS THAT COMBINES THE SCULPTURAL QUALITIES OF ICE GLASS WITH THE ELEGANT MODERNISM FOR WHICH KALMAR FRANKEN IS CELEBRATED.
