Wilhelm Wagenfeld for Lindner Leuchten - Wall lamp - Model 6065 - Porcelain, Opaline glass

Set of 2 Wilhelm Wagenfeld wall lamps – Lindner Leuchten – Model 6065 – Bauhaus – circa 1958/1960

Very handsome and characterful set of two vintage wall lamps, model 6065, designed by the famous German Bauhaus designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1900–1990) for Lindner Leuchten, Germany.

Model 6065 is attributed in specialized design sources to Wagenfeld and Lindner. The design is dated by various sources to around 1958, while VNTG lists the model as an edition from the 1960s. Therefore this set is offered as a design from circa 1958, produced around the late 1950s/1960s.

The design is a beautiful example of Wagenfeld’s functionalist design philosophy: clear, simple, and functional, without superfluous decoration. The flowing, almost capsule-shaped form lends the lamps a particularly sculptural appearance.

Each lamp consists of a white glazed porcelain/ceramic wall mount with an elongated shade of milky white opal glass. When the lamp is switched on, the opaline shade glows beautifully and evenly, producing a pleasant diffuse light.

Because of their compact size and timeless form, these lamps are especially suitable to place on either side of a bathroom or wall mirror. Of course, they also look excellent in a hall, bedroom, or in a modern Bauhaus, Scandinavian, or Mid-Century interior.

Both porcelain holders feature an incised round factory mark on the back and the designation “250 V 282.” The corresponding markings on both pieces confirm that this is a matching set. The designation 282 is not listed here as a model number; the documented design is referred to as model 6065.

Condition

The lamps are in good vintage condition, with normal signs of use and aging fitting their age.

One of the mounting holes has a small flea bite/chip in the porcelain/ glaze. This defect is clearly photographed and is located at the mounting opening, making it hardly noticeable when the lamp is mounted.

Additionally, light superficial signs of wear may be present. Please examine the photos carefully; they form an important part of the condition description.
