About the Item

Large Helo table lamp with a very large shade and copper-plated (bronzed?) brass sections – a timeless classic from the 1950s. Stylistically, the lamp's design is inspired by the Bauhaus era. The lampshade is versatilely adjustable via a ball joint. The solid lamp is made entirely of metal and painted dark green, with the interior of the shade in creamy white. The design lends the lamp a refined serenity. The curved shade provides a bright, pleasantly glare-free light and is very solidly constructed. The round, curved base with the switch is designed to match the shade: profiled brass strips on the edge, a dark green finish on the interior, and a slightly curved brass knob in the center, which can be used to release the base. The shade rotates via a ball joint and does not need to be locked; it stays in any position. The ball joint has two screws that can be used to loosen or tighten the joint. The lamp was available in several sizes; the largest version offered here has a 41 cm shade – extremely rare. The lamp is in exceptionally good condition – the paint and brass parts show only slight signs of aging – see pictures. A very rare collector's item in this condition and size! Height approx. 50 cm Base 21 cm Shade diameter 41 cm Depth 60 cm Brass socket E 27 Weight 3300 g Cable length 140 cm, with white, slightly yellowed Schuko plug Helo Leuchten Helo was founded in the 1930s by Henry Gerhard Senior as Elektrogeschäfts Helo in the city of Breslau, at that time a German city. Today it is a Polish city named Wroclaw. He fled to Neuburg with his family in 1945 with only a flashlight and some pictures. The three shops were destroyed in a night of bombing. The Helo Leuchten company was registered after World War 2 in 1946 in Neuburg (Neuburg an der Donau). Helo is derived from Henry and his son Lothar. From old war material such as brass and aluminium from the airfield, he begins with the production of work lamps, today we say industrial lighting. The company grows fast and moves twice in a couple of years to the address of today. The company Gebr. Kaiser & Co. Leuchten KG, Lichttechnische Spezialfabrik from Neheim-Hüsten acquires the rights to use the Helo brand and individual models, such as the “commissaire” lamp, the 6631 Luxus. Today (2020) produced by Fritz Hansen. Lothar Gerhard, who took over the company after Henry Gerhard‘s death in 1964, sees himself forced to gradually abandon the factory and transform the company into the trading company it is today. Helo is now owned by Henry Gerhard Junior, his son and since 1980 it is a member of the Expert group.
