Pair of Three Arm 'Bridal Bouquet' Chandeliers
by Paavo Tynell
£58,000
Pair of three arm 'Bridal Bouquet' ceiling lights model n°9029/3.
Manufactured by Taito Oy, Helsinki, Finland, circa 1950.
These two lights are instantly recognisable from Paavo Tynell's 'Concerto', or otherwise known 'Bridal Bouquet' line. The poetic composition is commonly interpreted as the 'anatomy of a flower' with the plate acting as the soil from which flowers grow while the rods descend, reminiscent of the roots. The frosted glass shades radiate a diffused, warm light that is beautifully captured by the reflecting brass, exhibiting Tynell's well-deserved title as the 'man who illuminated Finland'.
