Description from the seller
Nortem – Old portable industrial inspection lamp – cast metal and glass – Spain – 20th century
Description
Old portable work lamp manufactured by Nortem, made of robust cast metal and equipped with a thick glass protector for the bulb.
This piece was originally intended for inspection and maintenance work in industrial environments, notable for its sturdy construction, its integrated suspension hook and its functional design characteristic of Spanish industry in the second half of the 20th century.
It preserves the original manufacturer’s plate, as well as numerous construction details typical of the era. It features an attractive patina of use and aging that enhances its interest as an object of industrial archaeology.
Ideal for collectors of technical lighting, industrial archaeology, loft-style decoration, workshops, industrial spaces or vintage interiors.
The lamp does not work and is sold for restoration, collection or decoration. A full inspection of the electrical installation is recommended before any attempt to operate it.
Condition in keeping with its age and use. It shows paint wear, signs of use, dirt, small rust spots and marks of the passage of time.
