Vintage Design
Unique and stunning single wall sconce. This sconce model 5801 was made during the 1970s in Sweden by Fåglavik.
Fåglaviks Glasbruk was founded in 1874 by wholesale trader Anders Magnus Andersson (1835-1891) from Gothenburg. He was traveling across the country by train when he got stuck in a snow storm and had to stay overnight in Fåglavik.
The day after the blizzard, he noticed the large bog north of the station. He then told his host that he had a wholesale glass business and was planning to start a glass blowing business. He had been looking for a suitable place to build a glass factory for some time and thought Fåglavik was perfect to start a glass factory.
Karl Erik Bodner, together with Paul Kedelv, designed a number of light fixtures, possible also this one. Other designers that worked for the company are, among others: Hans von Matérn, Olle Hagdahl, Erich Marten and Bengt Berglund.
Fåglaviks Glasbruk was closed down in 1978, and the buildings were demolished in September 2007.
In Herrljunga Kulturhus (house of culture) there is a museum of Fåglaviks Glasbruk.
This Wall Sconce is composed by glass and brass structure.
This fixture is equipped with 1 light socket (E14). A professional electrician has checked and prepared the piece to operate in US, UK and EU.
