J.T. Kalmar

In 1881, Julius August Kalmar founded Kalmar, a Viennese company that produced handcrafted objects of cast bronze. Kalmar developed a fine reputation and exhibited internationally often, but it was Kalmar’s son, Julius Theodor (J.T.) Kalmar, who took over in 1913 and made the company shine with its modernist lighting.

Having studied at the Birmingham School of Art and Design and under the Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann at the Vienna School of Applied Arts, J.T. was deeply inspired by the shift to modernity taking place in Europe and sought to work with the leading architects and designers of his time, including Austrian Werkbund architects Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach as well as Ernst Plischke, Clemens Holzmeister and Oswald Haerdtl. Similar to the Wiener Werkstätte cooperative cofounded by Hoffmann that prized materials, form and function, Kalmar viewed his company’s lighting fixtures as “quite humble things” meant to “fit in and serve their purpose of functionally illuminating spaces without glare.”

In 1925, Kalmar began selling in Haus und Garten, the forward-looking decor shop founded by Frank and Wlach. By 1931, a close partnership with the Austrian Werkbund association of architects, artists and craftsmen allowed the company to realize its vision of early 20th-century modernity — a distinctly Viennese pairing of traditional workmanship with contemporary technology. These collaborations included chandeliers and other fixtures using traditional materials such as glass, bronze and brass while focusing on function over ornamentation. As the company grew, so too did the scope of its projects, and soon Kalmar was installing extravagant chandeliers for the Vienna State Opera, the Burgtheater, Vienna stock exchange and other sites.

Under the guidance of Rudolf Calice, J.T. Kalmar’s son-in-law, the 1960s saw Kalmar’s popularity grow, thanks in part to the success of more decorative pieces like the ice-glass fixtures created with Austrian sculptor Karl Gruber. Thomas Calice, the great-grandson of Kalmar’s founder, led the company in the 1990s and its expansion to international lighting projects while shifting away from serial production. In 2009, Thomas’s son August Chalice established Kalmar Werkstätten to produce fixtures that reference the Kalmar archives but also feature updates on the iconic designs. Kalmar continues to produce bespoke fixtures while also working on custom lighting projects around the world, from cruise ships to the Burj Khalifa.

Stunning Pair of Murano Glass Wall Sconces / Wall Lights by Leucos, Italy, 1980s

By Leucos

Located in Lisse, NL

Excellent condition Leucos Murano glass sconces with blue rim and V-shaped mounts. A remarkable pair of sculptural wall lights by Leucos, produced in Italy during the 1980s. These pieces are exemplary of Italian craftsmanship and design, made from hand-blown Murano glass — with a smooth opaline center framed by a beautifully curved turquoise-blue rim. Two small decorative glass dots near the top add a playful touch of artisanal detail. The glass shades are mounted on sharply angled, black V-shaped metal bases that provide a bold architectural contrast to the softness of the glass. Behind each bulb lies a hammered reflector surface that helps diffuse the light evenly. When lit, these sconces produce a warm, atmospheric glow with a delicate blue halo cast onto the wall — a classic Murano lighting effect that transforms the space with elegance and subtle drama. Thanks to the original wall brackets (inside) they are easy to mount and these fine specimens could not be in a better condition. They are wired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and our price for this pair includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days. Maximum width x height x depth: 12.1 x 10.7 x 3.7 inches. We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past.
