German Art Deco Diffuna Table Lamp by Karl Trabert for Schaco Schanzenbach Co.

About the Item

Elegant table lamp from Schaco based on a design by Karl Trabert from the 1930s. Here is a very rare version of the Diffuna with a metal shade. A special detail is the striking base of the lamp. The shaft is formed from a continuous tube and forms a foot when placed in a loop at the bottom. The upper area of ​​the shaft forms a wide arc towards the lamp dome. The black rotary switch protrudes from the hemispherical dome on the front. The shade is a flat plate with a wide edge. It is made of aluminum and has been polished to a high shine. The lamp is in very good condition and shows signs of wear and patina. The surface was polished by an artisan and the lamp was professionally rewired.
