AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is an attractive, vintage desk lamp with a gooseneck arm, highly characteristic of the Mid-Century Modern period and early industrial design aesthetic. This model, often designated as TYP 1105 (or 11.105), is strongly associated with the designs produced in former Czechoslovakia.
Model: TYP 1105 (also known as 11.105 in some catalogues).
Period: Circa 1940s–1960s.
Manufacturer: Likely Elektrosvit (Nové Zámky) or a similar manufacturer in former Czechoslovakia, based on the type number and style. The design is inspired by earlier British models (e.g., EKCO).
Materials:
Base and Shade: High-gloss, dark brown/black Bakelite, a durable early plastic common in the period.
Arm: Flexible chromed metal gooseneck for adjustable light direction.
Details:
The base features a small on/off toggle switch.
The model number "TYP 1105" is visible on the base.
Equipped with an E27 bulb socket (tested and functional).
Original braided textile-covered cable.
Condition: In good, used, vintage condition. The Bakelite shows the expected minor signs of wear, surface scratches, and patina consistent with age (please see detailed photos, they are part of the description). The internal metal reflector is clean.
This lamp is a true collector's item, offering both historical value and timeless functionality, perfect for an office, studio, or as an accent piece in a modern interior.
