Vintage pine veneer table lamp "B 148" by Hans-Agne Jakobsson for Ellysett AB, Sweden 1960s

B 1481 is a small Table lamp created by Hans-Agne Jakobsson in the 1960s. It was manufactured at Ellysett AB in Markaryd were practically all Jakobssons pine lights come from. It is constructed from thin sheets of pine veneer carefully bent around a pine wood frame. Great transparent projection through the grain when lit and also beautiful grain on the hand turned foot. Very few of these lights have survived since the wood is very fragile. The warm light bulbs of the 1960s and 70s dried out the wood and made it brittle. This one is in relatively good condition with only some minor marks and a break at the joint as seen in one photo. Makers adhesive tag intact under the base. Standard E27 light bulb.
