About the Item

This desk lamp is the quintessential Mid-Century Modern design: a conical sisal shade, an elegantly shaped brass arm and a round wooden base with a white push button switch. Made by the German-Swiss manufacturer Temde and hailing from the late 50s to early 60s this lamp is still in great condition - a testimony to the craftsmanship and quality martials used when making this lamp. The lamp is designed for an E27 bulb and emits a warm and comforting light through its sisal shade. This is a compact and well proportioned lamp that would work well as a bedside lamp or indeed as as intended as a desk lamp. Dimensions: Height: 40 cm (15.7 in) Base diameter: 19 cm (7.5 in) Shade diameter 32 cm (12.6 in) Please note: While we always test our lamps to make sure they are in good working order, they are of a certain age and some faults may exist that were missed by us. We cannot guarantee that the lamps are in line with codes and standards in your region. We therefore recommend that you consult with a certified professional to ensure that the lamps are installed and work safely.
