“A Little of Everything”. A solid Brazilian rosewood wall/ceiling mounted lamp with boxwood inlays. Circular wall bracket with inlaid monogram and swivel for adjustable arm with pleated Le Klint paper shade. Signed monogram 1955. Designed 1947. This example made 1955 by cabinetmaker Peder Moos.

Provenance: Present owner's grandmother, Charlotte Rud, who was a friend and neighbour of Peder Moos and matron at Den danske Husflidshøjskole in Kerteminde, where Moos started teaching in 1956.

This lamp comes from a family who was part of Moos' life since his early youth and who was closely connected to his other vocation - teaching. Charlotte Rud's mother was Ingeborg Appel, teacher and later on matron at Askov Højskole, where Moos was a student before he commenced his education as a cabinetmaker.
