Poul Henningsen 2/2 1930s amber glass pendants

Poul Henningsen PH 2/2 Pendant Lamp in Copper and Browned Brass, Patented, Denmark, 1930s

An original and elegant PH 2/2 pendant lamp designed by Poul Henningsen, Denmark, dating from the 1930s, produced under Henningsen’s patented three-shade system.

This early example features a refined combination of materials, with copper shades paired with browned brass fittings, creating a warm and richly textured surface developed through natural aging. The layered shade construction provides soft, glare-free illumination, demonstrating Henningsen’s pioneering approach to functional lighting.

The proportions and detailing are characteristic of early PH production, where material quality and craftsmanship were of the highest standard. Examples from this period, particularly in copper with original patina, are increasingly rare and highly sought after by collectors.
