AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This floor lamp from the 1930s is attributed to designer Christian Dell and embodies the functional aesthetics of the Bauhaus style. Originally often used as a doctor's or examination lamp, this model is characterized by its clear, industrial-inspired formal language.

The lamp consists of chrome-plated metal and features a flexible gooseneck that allows continuous positioning of the light. A hemispherical reflector shade directs the light specifically, while the distinctive tripod base provides stability. The height is variably adjustable between 110 cm and 140 cm. An original Bakelite rotary switch at the socket, as well as the original rubber feet, round out the design. Imprints on the socket indicate the historic manufacture.

The lamp is in very good, fully functional condition for its age. The original chrome finish and the historical details are preserved.

This piece integrates excellently into modern or industrial-inspired interiors. It is ideally suited as a reading lamp beside a chair or as a striking design object in a study.
