Edward Hald for Orrefors chandelier, 'HD 8532', Sweden, 1940s

Elegant chandelier designed by Edward Hald for Orrefors in the 1940s. Model HD 8532 features a finely crafted glass shade suspended from a brass mount, exemplifying the refined aesthetic of Swedish Modern design.

The frosted glass is decorated with engraved and sandblasted motifs of reclining nude women, birds, flowers, and celestial elements arranged in a circular composition. The decoration reflects the lingering influence of Art Deco, with its stylized figures, graceful lines, and decorative symbolism, interpreted through Hald’s distinctly Scandinavian sensibility.

The warm tone of the glass combined with the patinated brass creates a soft and atmospheric light. A rare and decorative example of mid-century Swedish lighting, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic quality for which Orrefors is renowned.
