- Maker's Mark: Clearly stamped in relief on the underside of the base with "MADE IN BELGIUM" and "ERPE".

Condition:
In good, fully working vintage condition with an attractive, authentic age-related patina. The metal and cast iron show minor surface wear, small scratches, and light paint loss consistent with its age (approx. 90–100 years old). The white interior enamel is very well preserved with no major chips, showing only slight natural yellowing above the bulb from heat over the decades.

Please note:
The lamp is tested and in working order. As with all vintage electrical items, having the wiring checked by a specialist before regular daily use is recommended.
