About the Item
A table reading lamp with engraved glass with portraits from the 15th century
A table reading amp on a base of a book with a curved stand, on top of which is a square of glass-engraved portraits with paper in the background. The portraits are T.A. Kempis, W. Gansfort, R. Agricola and D. Erasmus. The lamp has a porcelain fitting and a short electrical wire with an old plug. The text on the spine of the book is IN ANCELLO CUM LIBELLO. ('Alone with a Book'). The lampshade is made of metal and colored in a bronze color and can be rotated. In the stand made of metal there is a name (mark), but illegible. The lid on the lampshade is loose.
