1930s Knut Wiholm Tin Engraved Table Lamp
Sweden, c.1930
This table lamp, designed by Swedish craftsman Knut Wiholm, exemplifies the restrained elegance characteristic of Scandinavian metalwork in the interwar period. Made from hand-turned tin, the lamp features a gracefully balustered stem and a broad circular base, its surface subtly engraved to catch the light without ostentation. Wiholm’s work reflects the values of the Swedish Arts and Crafts movement, balancing functionality with quiet ornamentation and an appreciation for traditional materials.
The lamp is shown here with a later pleated paper shade, printed with a floral motif reminiscent of 1930s textile design, a sympathetic addition that underscores the piece’s domestic warmth and timeless appeal.
