About the Item
This pair of 1970s German table lamps by Peill and Putzler features a circular design made of frosted and clear glass. Six concave indentations on each lamp beautifully magnify and reflect the light.
The lamps have been inspected by an electrician and are fully functional. Each has a white cord with an on/off switch. One lamp retains its original transparent manufacturer's label.
A single E14 Edison screw-in lightbulb is required for each lamp. Using a silver-capped LED bulb is recommended as it helps reflect light outward through the frosted glass.
The lamps are perfect to illuminate a dark corner perhaps on a shelf or on a sideboard.
These lamps are perfect for illuminating a dark corner, shelf, or sideboard. They are in good vintage condition, with a few small, nearly unnoticeable chips.
Peill & Putzler was a German company known for its high-quality glassware and lighting, with a history dating back to the late 19th century. The company was formed in 1947 through a merger of two older glassmakers: Peill und Sohn, founded in 1903, and Putzler, established in 1869.
Peill & Putzler's lighting is particularly noted for its elegant, functional, and often artistic designs. The company was a founding member of the German Design Council in 1953 and collaborated with prominent designers such as Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Horst Tüselmann, and Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner. Their work often featured innovative, experimental approaches to glassmaking, allowing light to become an art form.
The company produced a wide variety of lighting, including table lamps, pendant lamps, wall lights, and chandeliers. Many of their designs, especially from the 1960s and 1970s, are recognized for their sculptural, globular forms and use of materials like frosted and clear glass, chrome, and silver foil. The company's production moved to other countries in 1995, and it filed for bankruptcy in 2004. Today, original Peill & Putzler pieces are considered vintage and are displayed in museums like the Museum of Modern Art in New York

Peill & Putzler
Transforming light manufacturing into an aesthetic art form, Peill & Putzler is synonymous with futuristic globular glassworks. It was a massive operation at the peak of its production, creating mid-century modern designs and employing up to 1,500 workers. Its table lamps, wall lights and chandeliers and pendants are anything but mundane and are admired today for their innovative artistry.
The melding of two great, independent glassworks companies in 1947 to form Peill & Putzler occurred at the beginning of a postwar design surge. Peill und Sohn, founded in 1903, was led by Leopold Peill, a philanthropist and glassmaker. Originally from Pieńsk in today’s Poland, the Putzler brothers were well-established glass producers known for kerosene street lighting. The synthesis of the two companies established the renowned glassworks and a lighting company. The site of its glassworks factory in Düren, Germany, became the home of this integrated partnership.
In 1953, the German Design Council was formed, with Peill & Putzler as a founding member. The council is essential today, bringing social awareness, support and knowledge transfer to design companies and providing beneficial tools for their success.
Heading the company at this time were Günther Peill and Hans Ahrenkiel. The pair were experimental with the designs the company produced. Advancing technologies supported industrial production, allowing the company to manufacture pieces that were as much art as functional objects.
Designers of note who worked with Peill & Putzler and contributed to its acclaim included Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Helmut Demary, William Brown, Horst Tüselmann and Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg. Collaboratively, they produced stunning flush mount lighting, candle holders and vases and vessels.
