A very rare early w. H. Gispen nr. ‘3059’ pendant lamp in nickel-plated metal. The netherlands, 1930s. Beautiful and timeless art deco design with a fluted base and a hanging uplighter shade. Great patina and well lived appearance. Can be found in the 1938 gispen / giso (the lighting department) brochure - but presumably was designed earlier on in the 1930s. A stunning design. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution, up to 250v (europe/uk standard).the wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
