Description from the seller
Dear Bidders,
Thank you for your interest in my offer.
You are bidding here on beautiful designer mushroom / ufo table lamp, which is in a good / very good condition for its age.
Vintage Peill & Putzler Alta table lamp, a classic piece by the renowned German lighting brand Peill & Putzler, known for its high-quality glass and timeless design. The lamp features a sculptural opaline glass shade with smooth, modernist lines resting on a cylindrical base, creating a striking and elegant silhouette. This model likely dates from the late 1970s–1980s and reflects the brand’s focus on refined forms and premium materials — characteristics that made Peill & Putzler lamps sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts.
SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS:
Peill & Putzler is a historic German glassworks and lighting manufacturer originally founded through the merger of Peill & Sohn (est. 1903) and Gebrüder Putzler (est. 1869). It became one of Germany’s leading makers of glass lamps and fixtures, especially during the mid-20th century. The company collaborated with prominent designers (including Bauhaus-inspired figures) and produced lighting that combined functional modernism with elegant craftsmanship. Over the decades, Peill & Putzler lamps became emblematic of German design heritage and are now valued by collectors for their quality and style.
