A silver-plated brass body, which was "fire-patinated" in a newly developed chemical process, makes this "Ikora" table lamp a true example of how technological innovation drove exceptional design in 1920s Germany! During the late 1920s WMF developed new techniques involving chemical reactions on precious metals and glass to produce its celebrated "Ikora" collection. By using a stopping-out method to create the pattern and adding Ammonia to blacken the brass during a high temperature firing process, a playful, yet geometric pattern was achieved, which gives this lamp a timeless Art Deco aesthetic. Originally designed in 1928 by Prof Paul Haustein as a decorative metal container with lid, WMF decided to also use this design for this table lamp with model number 110 / 216 The lamp is wired for two E27 light bulbs and the central column can be easily extended by up to 8 cm (3.1 in) by loosening and tightening a small handle next to the two light sockets. This allows for different light effects as well as mounting larger lamp shades...
