Description from the seller
Large Bauhaus Style Desk Lamp – Germany – Tin-Plated Brass, Opaline Glass
A striking large Bauhaus-style desk lamp from Germany, executed in heavy-quality tin-plated brass with a beautiful opaline glass dome shade. The elegant curved arm and clean geometric lines reflect the timeless functional aesthetics of Bauhaus design, making this lamp both highly decorative and practical.
The substantial round base provides excellent stability and features the original on/off switch neatly integrated into the base. The large opaline glass dome creates a warm, soft diffused light and gives the lamp a strong sculptural presence.
German Bauhaus-inspired lighting remains highly sought after for its minimalist sophistication and enduring design quality, making this an excellent collector’s piece and a true eye-catcher in any interior.
Condition is very good overall, with attractive natural patina on the brass base and some minor chipping along the edges of the glass dome, consistent with age and use, preserving its authentic vintage character.
Includes lamp bulb and fitted with a standard E27 socket.
Fully functional, but as with all vintage electrical items, a safety check by a qualified professional is recommended before use.
Dimensions:
37 x 40 cm (h x w)
Glass shade diameter: 36 cm
Base diameter: 20 cm
Weight: approximately 3.5 kg
A beautiful statement piece for any Bauhaus, Art Deco, or Mid-Century Modern interior.
