Arvid Böhlmarks model 5176, c. 1910 — Swedish Art Nouveau chandelier with an stunning opalescent glass shade

[u/psilocybe95]

Swedish Art Nouveau chandelier by Arvid Böhlmarks, model 5176, dating to the 1910s. The fixture has floral brass decoration and a particularly striking mosaic-like opalescent glass shade, with small green glass accents set between the larger opalescent pieces. The last photo shows the model in an original Böhlmarks catalogue.

The glass changes dramatically depending on the light: photo 2 was taken with the white LED light from my phone, which makes it appear almost ice-blue. Photo 3 was taken in direct sunlight, bringing out much warmer orange, pink and fiery opalescent tones.
